The future of augmented reality

As mobile phones and gadgets become more and more sophisticated the concept of an augmented reality in which technology overlays the real world in front of our eyes moves gradually closer. Will this technology dominate our future ?
It’s not possible today, but the emergence of more powerful, media-centric cellphones is accelerating humanity toward this vision of “augmented reality,” where data from the network overlays your view of the real world.

I saw something about this a few years ago, the thing i found most interesting, was a woman wearing goggles and looking at a book, where images popped out of. Will see it i can find it. edit: Found it. The goggles are a bit clumsy, but it could get better, maybe it has already gotten better. Starts at around 0:50 into the video.
