When Palm and Blackberry first took off about 10 years ago I don’t think everyone fully grasped just how huge the handheld multi-device market would become. There were doubeters. Why would I want one device that played music, checked my email, and made phone calls? I wonder if the same will be true of these [...]

Augmented reality is continuing to morph the way people engage with their devices. This idea is fantastic. And it unleashes a whole new genre of travel. It’s one thing to take the tour. It’s another to take the tour and then stand in the same spot as the crew and watch the scene unfold, on [...]
