I have never heard of "augmented reality". Is it different from "existential reality"? I know the famous book "A Separate Reality" and the philosophy of ancient Indians in America. Do I use "augmented reality"? Hardly. How could I? I create my own reality a billion times every second, I do not augment it, I simply do it and have it for my own. Will it be essential to the future? No, there is no future unless I decide to create it.
