It comes true! I’d like to say that actually few decades ago, there was already some imagination or expectation for this kind of things in some ‘comics’ specially some TV animation. It comes true!

One company, QderoPateo, is making massive leaps in image or ‘scene’ recognition. Not only will the phone’s camera be able to identify objects, it will also provide an interface for the user to communicate using gestures such as a smile or a wave. This new technology is called ‘Articulated Naturality’ and it’s the clever use of computer vision (optical recognition PTAM/PTAMM), artificial intelligence and ambient intelligence, delivered on a super-rich media device. Simply put, Articulated Naturality is what Augmented Reality is supposed to be. On the 23rd of April 2010 QderoPateo will unleash this renaissance in technology.

My company's product, Tagwhat, is in private beta. Tagwhat combines an on-line map driven experience, robust mobile AR, and social networking elements to create a first of its kind AR 'create & share' system. Basically, you create AR tags on-line or in the mobile. You attach media, etc. Then, you follow others in the system to merge their AR tags into your world. So if I follow Discover's Tagwhat stream, I get its AR tags in my on-line map and mobile wherever in the world it has placed them. If Discover follows me, it gets my AR. What I'm describing is a way to get to AR 2020, where the web is everywhere and in everything around us and where we can create, share, and receive whatever information exists based on our preferences and interests.
