As seen in this academic paper, AR is simplifying our lives and jobs, making them more productive with less effort, and bringing us closer together as humans. This can be be augmenting users, physical objects, or the environment which surrounds them.

Paper, as show in the Ariel and EVA examples and the example seen in class where we can se the human body, is a material which is easy for AR to be used upon. I believe it is the combination between something physical which has been used for ages and new technological tools. It stops serving as a sheet where you write once and dispose it, and it has become more user friendly than digitized "paper".

A key characteristic about AR is it facilitates everyday life. In the following video we see Elon Musk showing and speaking about the future of industrial design and how it is employed at Space X.

Augmented reality is going to change our lives forever. The ability to interact with inanimate objects is completely revolutionizing the way we live our daily lives by quicker access to information and useful tools and applications that will potentiate our productivity and awareness in a whole new level.

Augmented reality will not only improve the way we work or the way companies make publicity. It is also going to be an incredibly fun tool that will also be applied on the entertainment business. Look at this example from Nintendo for example:

This is a long time running video game franchise that has been know since the early 90's and was a huge hit during its glory days. On this new concept of bringing an "abstract" of "fictitious" world to the real world, this franchise seems appealing not only to kids, but alto to nostalgic young adults that grew in that era.
