Reality or Augmented Reality?
Since the introduction of various mobile platforms, including the iPhone and Android, we have been exposed to endless applications to use in our daily lives. However, the key idea is: do we really need them or are they really that helpful?

Combined with the on-board camera and compass in newer phones, AR apps take things to new level. The only thing I’d be worried about is not keeping your eye on stuff around you, but I guess you’d be able to see that through the lens anyways (Just keep in mind that oh so forgotten warning on your vehicle’s passenger side mirror : “Objects in mirror are closer than they appear”).
