Also, he has just finished a book about 3D virtual worlds that you should really check out. Augmented reality is part of the virtual world.

My Experience in Virtual Worlds A few years ago, when Second Life was first coming onto the scene as the next big thing, I sat in my office and scratched my head. I dabbled in SL a bit after that, chronicled my Second Life experiences on my blog, but I haven’t been “in world” in probably two years.
