The document discusses emerging technologies for person-to-person communication including geotagging, augmented reality, and games. It outlines how these technologies can provide better connections through location-based applications, better information through augmented content overlays, and better exploration through immersive gaming experiences. When combined, these technologies may lead to more effective person-to-person communication by maximizing opportunities to access relevant people, content, and solutions. The document questions what applications have yet to be developed to their full potential with these technologies.
