An article in MIT Technology Review, entitled “Augmented Reality Gets to Work,” quotes Prof. Tobias Höllerer on the increasing use and importance of Augmented Reality.

Tobias Höllerer, a professor at the University of California at Santa Barbara who studies augmented reality, says getting people to accept the technology depends on factors that may not have improved as much as display and tracking technology have—namely, how users control the system, be it with gestures, voice, or something else entirely. “Obviously there’s a lag in deploying these technologies from when they became possible to when they became robust enough to actually be deployed in work flows,” he says. “But I think there is enough of a benefit in augmented reality to make that leap.”
