I don&#8217;t know about AR graveyards though. I was really hoping for something more along the lines of &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/ARQuake\">ARQuake<\/a>&#8221; (maybe a multiplayer version with tasers&#8230;.).<\/p>\n<p>This all goes hand-in-hand with the big tech news for the past few days: Demo. Yahoo News has a short article (probably temporary too [Edit: it was, so I removed the link]) on a few of the hyped technologies at the Demo conference that maybe makes this augmented reality stuff more relevant: Intellifit body scanning, Novint Falcon haptics, MDA 3D modeling.
