In our second installment of technology that will fundamentally alter the way we interact with the world around us, the boys of J@N are going to take a closer look at Augmented Reality. Although this technology has been around for years now, it remains in its infancy.
But why? If companies and developers have been looking at AR for years now, where are our fancy future goggles? Could it be a commercial issue, or something more SINISTER about the human condition itself?
Join us for a romp through a future we can all see coming, as well explore the ins and outs of this potentially revolutionary technology.
