Mark Roman Miller, an assistant professor at Illinois Institute of Technology, sees augmented reality devices as extraordinary tools, but he warns that they also carry enormous potential for counterproductive distraction.

Augmented and mixed-reality devices could further exacerbate the problem of divided attention that many smartphone users already encounter, he says.
