Geospatial AR beyond maps

Making the case for geospatial AR
The case for AR discovery needs to be parsed in terms of discovery, in terms of augmented reality, and in terms of the value of both together.

Discovery: Geospatial AR GeoAR-Discovery
 * Contextual search (as well as publication) for geospatial content has very wide applications for integrating internet content into daily experience (as well as profound privacy and other implications).
 * Even the rudimentary technology now available is limited by content availability, both the target features and the properties / interfaces that apply to them.
 * Some of the possible contextual parameters are closely related to AR concepts (location, focus, target feature, task) but are not unique to AR.
 * Many or most of the envisioned AR discovery scenarios are ones that people already implement to some degree with (heads-down) maps +/ StreetView types of visualization.
 * In what way / under what circumstances is AR a compelling addition or alternative to map-based search and navigation?
 * The combination of AR and maps and/or VR has the useful characteristic that it can be used "on location" but doesn't have to be. [Especially useful for geographically distributed development by a virtual organization!]
