Publishers are trying to figure out the use cases for AR, which is still more novelty than anything else. But eventually it will offer a pretty compelling way to obtain content — mostly about something you’re standing right in front of.

Regardless, the folks in Seattle are doing some very interesting things with Superpages in mobile.
