My first thoughts on other realities

Augmented, Virtual or any other realities always have been amazing people since ages. Even before the concept of Internet and connected devices, ideas which revolved around using techniques to bring images and videos into 3D and higher dimensions were thought of. some of those ideas i came across and would like to share here..

Augmented reality - Wikipedia
the first instance of a movie showcasing augmented reality or bringing videos to life out of an image was in 1967 tamil movie pattanathil bootham.. not kidding though..

Pattanathil Bhootham - Wikipedia
this movie is about a Genie in a Jar and what magics he shows to the two people who accidentally opened the jar and left the genie out. of all the magics this one did remind me about Augmented Reality.
