The document discusses the future of augmented reality (AR) and interfaces. It describes how location-based AR using GPS and SMS can enable applications like automated check-ins, contextual notes, and proximal messaging without typing. The document also discusses privacy concerns with AR and explores other types of AR like collaborative shared reality, diminished reality, and non-visual AR for navigation.

Non-Visual AR
•Location-based AR with
automatic check-ins based on
GPS data.
•Updates sent by SMS.

Automated Check-in with GPS and SMS
15. @caseorganic oakhazelnut.com eComm 2010
Drawbacks:
Difficult to type while driving or biking.
Dangerous.
User must look up the person to type
the message to.
Many texts back and forth.

From Pull to Push
• Reduction of text messages.
• Messages can be sent without user
input. Ability to multitask while
driving, walking, biking.
• Reduction of cognitive load or need
to consult interface or hunt for data.
• Result: faster or similar outcome.

Other Types of AR
•Collaborative Shared Reality
•Diminished Reality

Collaborative Mediated Reality
A negotiation between two parties allowing one to
temporarily access the viewpoint of another.
