Certainly one of the more interesting technological advances showing up in the consumer environment is the concept of Augmented Reality (or AR):The concept of supplementing a view on the world with additional data via an overlay or heads up display. Ever since television came up with the idea of an overlay with a teleprompter or popup videos, the general public can get the idea of what this means.
What does it look like? Well if we see what Arnold Schwarzenegger was supposed to have seen in the movie Terminator, it was a simple white text and line drawings around the real world. Not just status messages, but actual outlines, three dimensional extrapolation, etc.
