Quora:

What types of applications would you like to see for the Google AR Glasses? Think #SecondLife … I would like to see avatars move back and forth between virtual worlds and augmented reality. I want voice-interactive NPC chatbots in augmented reality. I would like to see a *platform* where anyone can launch their own embodied #Siri or #Watson; ideally, this would be some kind of pluggable middleware, where people could mix and match any cloud intelligence, or API, with a myriad of customizable 3D animations ala Second Life.
Yahoo! Answers:

When will we have Angelic Layer technology? I’m not familiar with the technology featured in the anime of “Angelic Layer“; however, I do know there is substantial progress in the fields of “consumer brain–computer interfaces”, “augmented reality” and “embodied agents”. It should soon be possible to represent embodied agents in the form of “dolls” or “angels” in augmented reality (also “mixed reality“). I suspect that the use of brain–computer interfaces (BCI), in games for instance, will soon follow.
