You land at the Denver International Airport in the US with barely 20 minutes to catch your connecting flight from a different terminal. So, you need to walk, take a train, and walk some more. Today, you have one option—run—with no idea if you will make it in time or end up missing your flight. But not in the augmented reality (AR) world of the future: as you step out of your aircraft, your smart lenses would scan the nearest gate number, search the airline database for the connecting flight’s gate number and, using the airport’s indoor maps, project directions on the lens itself and also display your estimated time of arrival basis your walking speed. If you have time, you could canter along. Glancing through the shops on the way would overlay the smart lenses with the in-store collections, which you could simply add to your cart and pay for with a voice command, and collect within minutes—all with the assistance of your smart lenses. Cool, right? This is a sample of what AR can power, not in the distant future, but barely within a decade from now. (And yeah, in case you’re wondering, if you’re really late, you still have to run!)
