Augmented Magical Realism

Several media outlets report that Google will sell augmented reality glasses before the end of the year. The glasses will superimpose visuals and data on what the user sees. Several cell phones already do this, but placing it in the glasses could take the technology mainstream.

Using augmented reality technology in fiction is already a consideration, creating the possibility for augmented magical realism in the region. You could wear the glasses and see what appears to be magical effects from a Garcia Marquez story while experiencing reality. It creates a new potential genre or canvas for authors and artists.
