Re: Rear Facing Camera.

This would be most useful on a device with a daylight readable transflective screen. Then you could use it outdoors with augmented reality apps.

While riding your Segway? Just don't see it happening (average folks holding a tablet-size device in front of their face, running AR apps).

Sure, when stationary for a moment, looking up information. You see average folks looking dead tree/ink information device in public all the time. They're called tourists. They're called museum-goers. They're called audience. Those things they're holding are called guidebooks and programs.

I think this would make for an awesome museum AR experience.

neat idea, long way away.

There are already such apps on the App Store.
