Perfect25 English Podcast

A: I heard you went to Sok-cho last weekend. So, did you catch any pokemon? B: What pokemon? Is that still a fad? A: Hey, I will be so excited to catch even one pokemon since I've never seen one before. B: It’s called Augmented Reality. It has a huge potential to develop. A: Augmented Reality? What’s that? Is it like Virtual Reality? B: Virtual Reality shows a digitally-created world like in online games, whereas Augmented Reality shows a supplemented environment over the real world through smartphones or other glasses such as Google’s. A: Ah.. Are you talking about something similar to the people in some sci-fi movies who wear glasses to see other people’s private information or location? Sounds awesome! B: Not necessarily. You should be concerned that the streets could be full of junk ads once everyone wears those glasses. A: Yeah.. Like most websites are covered with ads these days. B: Augmented Reality in our everyday lives will happen in the not-too-distant future. Ask [e-mail] for anything!
