A fascinating article on augmented reality. The vOICe could be used to facilitate this process by helping the user point the camwra. The vOICe on the pc can handle OCR. It can also read shortcodes.

This is handy not only when using the vOICe but also when you have one of them senior moments so that you can see what part of the brain is forgetting. It could be interesting to then stimulate memory using TMS or something. Talk about mind control!
