Make that 20 years – if not more. Early “modern” AR work dates back to the late 80s, with the very first such systems (Sutherland) having been demonstrated in 1960s. (Of course, not in a mobile form then.)

Whether the patent gets granted, is anybody’s guess.

Whether it is the Web 2.0 crowd or Apple.
