Can Augmented Reality Make Real Games, Expressive Media? Inspiration from Georgia Tech

I’ve been blogging effectively every day for nearly five years, so it’s hard to avoid novelty - that’s kind of what we publish. The question is, is it the novelty that’s important, or do you see these as little steps toward something greater that hasn’t happened yet? I tend to favor the latter.
Here’s the question: can augmented reality - using computer vision tools to mix computer graphics with stuff in the real world - become a real medium and not just a gimmick?
If it works in a game, you begin to think there’s really something to an interactive design. I’m not certain yet about the upcoming PSP game from giant Sony. Georgia Tech researchers, on the other hand, are coming up with stuff I really want to play.
Oh, yeah - and it makes me crave some Skittles. (Product integration, anyone?)
