I do recall that. Very prophetic on your part. I write speeches for CEOs and other executives. Often, these involve technology visions, musings on where the industry could go. I wrote one last year for the CTO of a semiconductor company which included among its future scenarios an application which would allow the user to put his/her iPhone up to the radio to identify a song. That wild vision became a reality a couple of months after the keynote. These predictions seem to have a very short shelf life.

Answer:
> Augmented Reality.

This is precisely what I’ve been talking about. But I cannot claim credit, the idea is not new. But what I’ve been saying is that the convergence of these technologies is upon us. It has now dropped into the price range that Augmented Reality is becoming commercially viable to pursue development of on a mass market platform.

Here is another blog post about some of the history behind augmented and virtual reality.
