Social networks is increasingly popular term, with hundreds of social networking sites popping up every single day, ranging from general interest to more eclectic types. Now it is easier than ever even to start your own social networking site with just a few steps.
And this hype will probably be enhanced my increased mobile (and tablets) usage.Just imagine how good is it if you meet someone and have no recollection who she/he is, but you instantly check through the social networks - and there you go - brief description of that person. And it is possible because nowadays people voluntarely share that information with the world :)But can we add a social networking touch to Augmented reality or vise versa?
First of all let's describe what is Augmented reality
- The idea is straightforward enough: take a real-life scene, or (better) a video of a scene, and add some sort of explanatory data to it so that you can better understand what's going on, or who the people in the scene are, or how to get to where you want to go.Augmented reality: it's like real life, but better in the words of Charles Arthur (Guardian, UK).

Augmented reality is still in its early steps, but there is no doubt that with the increased usage of social networks, smart mobile phones and tablets, AR will be incorporated somehow in the future. The question is whether the people would be able to opt out from that option?
