Porn mode AR sounds great, I raise my glass to you Jason.

To be serious though I would put an AR barcode on a business card to make swapping numbers easy. Maybe even a witty remark embedded in a large AR barcode on a t-shirt while it's still geek chic.

Reasonably priced optical see through glasses are a few year off yet and video see through will probably always be a bit jumpy so hand helds will have to lead the way for now.

Years ago Sony launched a video camera with a night vision mode that could be used to see underneath some kinds of clothes. It was taken off market as soon as the "new" feature was discovered.

How long 'til I can transfer my consciousness into a non organic device. It would make porn seem so trivial compared to direct port stimulation.

Jason, there is already such an application, its called (how very original) Mobile XRay scanner. See http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zRx3Dat7uqs

AR is a great idea but as with any endevaour of mankind the idiots will turn it into cheap fake porn-related crap. I for one don't intend to walk around like an idiot experiencing real world through 320x240 screens instead of using my eyes, but you all should buy this crap to finance the research so one day I can buy it when its mature and embedded into glasses so I can actually augment reality with technology without looking like a complete dork.

makes an app that causes the phone to appear to have x-ray vision?

We already have phones that can see faces, although it helps if you're light-skinned. Won't be long until phones can guess pretty accurately at gender. So, at some point there's going to be an app where you can aim your device at someone and have them appear to be nude on the screen.

Yes, I'm a pervert, but you know I'm right.
