Stanford researchers found that after people experienced augmented reality (AR) their interactions in their physical world changed as well - even with the AR device removed. These findings that using AR can change where you walk, how well you do on tasks and how you connect socially with other physical people in the room mirrors much of the research this group has done on virtual reality.
