"The word lover's guide to new words."
n. Extra information—such as images or sounds—supplied to a person from a wearable computer.
Example Citation:
"The devices include everything from Schwartz's fishnet vest adorned with connected components, to laptops-in-fanny-packs, to thick glasses that reflect a video display in one lens. The glasses provide a dominant vision of the real world that is overlaid by information from an electronic world. Such information overlays are called annotated reality, a subcategory of wearable computing distantly related to virtual reality."
