Suggestion: Augmented Reality

I'd like to suggest some work-related examples (from Anon): 1◊, 2◊, 3◊, 4◊

Opened.

I like 1.3 and 1.4 the best out of those, but I don't know how well they would look at wiki-size.

1.1 looks a little chaotic and not very illustrative.

1.2 is about on par with the current.

3 and 4 at wikisize:

Yeah, the text is a little small at wiki-size.

Here's a closer crop of 1.4:

Not bad.

That's pretty good...wouldn't mind seeing something a little flashier, but I'd be happy with it.

How does Augmented Reality differ from Robo Cam? The second paragraph of the latter mentions "a human character with implanted cyber-eyes may have a vision field like this, complete with sensor read-outs, crosslines superimposed over enemies he's aiming at, or picture-in-picture for an incoming videophone message".

Bring it up at the Duplicate Tropes Cleanup thread.

How about this shot from Person of Interest, for those that want something flashier:

Ideally we can settle on an image that makes the distinction clear. Can we do this at this moment?

Robo Cam is about first-person perspective; of the suggestions so far, only 1.3 is in first-person, the rest are not.

Hmm, what part of the description of Augmented Reality argues against a POV shot? Goggles are mentioned as a possible application.

It doesn't argue against it. Robo Cam specifically requires first-person and Augmented Reality does not.

Robo Cam is an inherent ability of the robot / character (it is how they perceive the world) and Augmented Reality isn't (the characters / whoever are using a device to gather this information).

^ That's a more useful distinction than the fuzzy POV/non-POV dichotomy.

The current image would be absolutely perfect if it was from a work. I think Eden of the East had a similar shot, but I can't find it (the AR was a relatively minor part of the plot).

I'm never opposed to non-work related images, but it's very low-quality, you can barely see the AR parts.

I'll go ahead and make one.

ETA: Done.

I missed this crowner getting posted; it's hooked now.

Votes bump; only one option with a positive ratio right now.

Past time to call this one. The new pic's up and tagged; caption?

No caption discussion; locking up.
