Smalltalk the platform for future AR

David Smith holds an interesting talk about the AR at TEDx.

The goal is to create a platform that permits augmented conversations where the users of the system are able to communicate and explore complex new ideas with each other that can’t be imagined today.

Croquet AR systems ware already implemented very early in Smalltalk.
