Ubiquitous University – “A creative and ever way of learning”

We often like gaining information about places, cultures, food, technology etc.
We often also realize that there is no way in which I can gain knowledge in a seamless manner
and knowledge that matters. For example I come across a painting at museum in Italy.
I love the painting and wish to gain information on authors bio-data and meaning behind the
painting. But as I don’t have any information, I ask people around and start ticking away buttons
on my iPhone to gain the information.
Now I have to be a good googler to get the information that I want. Information that matters pertaining to that painting. Now this certainly does seem to be a waste of time and especially the moment.
Imagine, if I could have wearable augmented reality glasses or some device that could do object recognition and can overlay information on the top of the physical object. The information can further be browsed with the help of gestures.
It could also be creative in some cases. For example, if you look at Mountains and natural elements of life then it might sing out an interesting poem for you.
In future, I see that education wont be just trapped inside a classroom. In fact practical learning will creatively be followed by respective theory introduced.
