And QR codes also have the limitation that you can only put them on certain types of objects, like printed materials. I think there could be many potential opportunities for AR in education but that's not my area of expertise. The key will be to observe and interact with students in the field to see how we can support their learning with AR technology, instead of thinking about what we could do with cool technology.

From where I'm sitting it seems to me that linking Print to TV is a killer app for education. The smart phone is the hardware. YouTube + other.tv is that content. "Clickable" newspapers is only one of many formats that could do a much better job than textbooks to accelerate learning at bottom of the pyramid high schools. Do you think this makes sense?
