New Application for Google Augmented Reality Glasses Considered

The other day, I was discussing with an acquaintance who was recruiting himself into our think tank about the future of virtual reality, actually augmented reality and blurring of the real world with the virtual online world of social media, social networks, and the global information flow in real time. We talked about Google's R&D Department and their latest augmented reality glasses which were featured not long ago in all the Nerdy Tech blogs and personal technology magazines.

We were discussing all the potential applications, which are non-ending and after brainstorming for what seemed like 5-minutes we came up with about 50 real world applications that are needed and viable right now today. Some already exist such as police tech devices for patrol officers. Anyway, just yesterday I was talking with the Founder of a new system of gambling, no it's not your old typical card counting plan, or some mathematical MIT impossible for most folks to do routine, rather his system was one developed by him for those playing cards in casinos.


In fact, he wrote an interesting eBook on the topic titled; "The Samonte System, Finally, a gambling system that works." Anyway Alan was telling me that his system did not require a genius level IQ or some secret augmented reality computer system. Indeed, originally I asked him if he was referring to a strategic methodology in gambling using mathematics, algorithms, proximities, card counts, and a computerized decision matrix system, and if so, I told him, then I understand the value of it all. Turns out it doesn't require any of that really.

Now then, let's say you don't want to buy his eBook on Amazon's Kindle for $.99 I believe he said it was, let's say you'd rather invest in an augmented reality system you could wear as regular looking glasses and have all that information plugged into your iPad which you wore on your hip. Well, then the system could use an artificial intelligent software system with algorithms to advise you which cards to play and your odds as you go.

You'd look at the card with your glasses as you played and each card played, as you went along, while the augmented reality system would keep track of it all for you. Then you'd have to use your skills as a poker player from there, reading faces, and watching for clues. A system that could do all that might cost you $5,500 and most of that would hardware, which although a little more costly than the $.99 Kindle eBook, but it would be some cool personal tech to own now wouldn't it?

I'd say, if you are interested, then shoot me an email and we can talk, and then challenge that Alan Samonte System to a duel of high-stakes Texas Hold'em. I figure with about $30,000 in software and mathematical development, plus the hardware mentioned above, we would stand a chance of beating Alan at his own game. Please consider all this and think on it.
