I think you may be able to use the ARToolkit as a base for the language and program it Xcode with Objective-C.  I wish I knew how to program.

Added to this, the fact that nurses aim to treat clients holistically, so, for routine interventions this might be ok, but it underplays the importance of interpersonal relationships and communication in care - i.e. you might find that the applications for this technology would be narrower than you might expect. </cite> Hi Abhijit

It is great. I am doing a PHD research study in using AR for education of mathematics. if any one interested can contact me at <a href="mailto:elango1012@gmail.com" rel="nofollow">elango1012@gmail.com</a>, to share informations.

The medical profession is known for taking decisions (diagnostic, prescriptive or otherwise) often based on incomplete knowledge of the patients condition. IMO, augmented reality will possibly allow providing substantially more information for decision making then is now available; this combined with empirical experience (the kind of doctor/nurses rely on) will improve medical care.

BMW of all the manufacturers could have been more creative in their use of technology. I don't however share John's grim view of the future. Perhaps if augmented reality is taken to its logical conclusion , it'll free up a lot of people to actually do more productive things. When robotics invaded car manufacture in the early 70s, there was an immediate fear that auto workers would become redundant. Some of them, the ones who didnt or couldnt reskill did. The ones who were able to upgrade their skills, actually added more value to the manufacturers. In the long term, this has led to cars being better built, safer, economical, and most importantly including a lot of incremental innovation. Perhaps, just maybe, a similar situation may emerge from the adoption of AR technologies by the mainstream. It's early days yet for AR, and I'm sure we'll see far more innovative use of this technology to enhance life and learning.
