There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Imagine traveling internationally while wearing glasses that superimposed translations over foreign words.
Or watching a program on your 3-D TV while Internet content that you could control with hand gestures floated in front of the screen.
Sound like science fiction? It's actually right around the corner, and within a few years these products could be available to the general public. It's called augmented reality, or AR, and it represents the next great leap forward in the information age.
