In the future, when we’ve all replaced our smartphones by those future blended reality glasses, will we annotate the objects in our daily lives? And if so, how and why?
When we walk into a grocery store will we see other people’s ratings of each product, with some sort of visual indication of upvotes and downvotes?
Similarly, when we go to a museum or art gallery, will we see annotations telling us which art other people liked? And will we be able to filter those results?
For example, suppose I want to know what works of art in some museum were of particular interest to computer science professors. Will I be able to be directed to those pieces?
Will there be a rating of the quality our tea? Or perhaps there will be a bit of text floating over the cup to tell us when it is just the right temperature to drink.
The possibilities are endless.
