When I first heard the term "augmented reality," I expected nothing short of corneal implants and tiny, cloud-connected computer systems that run on body heat and live just under your skin. I imagined something that would add layers upon layers of information to the visual world we see every day -- every face we lay eyes on would be tagged with vital contact info, Facebook posts, musical tastes and all sorts of useless trivia. It sounded really futuristic, so I was careful not to let myself get too excited until next October. All the good stuff comes out in October.
