Augmented Reality in Table Top Wargaming .. Whatever Comes Next?

Is this really the future of wargaming? (see the links below .. pause, gasp and then question .. there are fun elements to both approaches):

I have to say, the older I get, the more I go back to basics and the more traditional tactile ways of doing things! However if it could sort out „fractious wargaming dilemmas“ (over rules) that occur from time to time on a table top, then I would be interested [instead of ringing up or emailing the rules writer]. Having said that, over the years I find I tend to stop wargaming with those types of people anymore, or move away from those sets of rules whose games develop in that way to bring about unnecessary ambiguity. However I would like to see it work for DBA, DBM, DBMM etc rule system that attracts „cunning, clever play“ and „rule lawyers“ going that extra mile (or „mm“) to win. How well will it deal with table top clutter of my wargaming table I wonder? (see below, the helpful ‚app in my hand‘ will tell me the answer – to questions of firing and morale):

An alternative approach is to be highly restrictive but precise in what the table top, what it displays and means. Smart figures and smart tables. No illegal moves and clear signalling to valid, legal play (see below, is this the wargaming dream world of the future?): 
Perhaps, but only time will tell!
