My first session was Not Reality, Actuality by Mr. Keith Barnes
He showed a free tool that mixed reality with virtuality. I found it to be a little sketchy on the educational value. Essentially it was R2D2 come to fruition. A teacher could illuminate a molecule and provide a virtual 3d image. The best application I see educationally would be for students to build a pop-up storybook. From a commercial standpoint you could try on shirts, jewelery, etc and see what it would look like on prior to purchasing. The application I would enjoy using is that it could eventually in a virtual world place a tree in your yard to see what it would look like.

Mr. Martin I think your opinion is right on target with the tool evauluation above. Kudos to you for your outstanding leadership efforts in establishing this blog for the KySTE conference.
