Augmented Reality App For Librarians - I love technology!

Augmented Reality App For Librarians Instantly Shows Which Books Are Misfiled:
"E-books, iPads and Kindles may be the way of the future, but most of the world's knowledge is still stored in millions of good old paper books on library shelves. So researchers at Miami University have created an augmented reality app that makes all those books easier to organize. ShelvAR instantly analyzes an entire shelf, spots any misplaced books, and shows librarians the quickest way to put the books back in order."
How about an app that helps you pick out the books you haven't read yet? Or books you're likely to enjoy? All kinds of possibilities!
