Guess I disagree a little. I have two augmented apps that I use often. Street Lens allows me to hold the phone up and look down the street and see restaurants and shops in the area, and Sky Map lets me hold the phone up to the sky and label astronomy interests (constellations, planets, etc - but no UFOs - yet).

Not super wide spread, and very limited uses, but it's here.

A lot of things are cool until someone dies.
I've seen people take pictures for years, and have yet to hear of someone dying from it.

I think the idea that this may be mistaken for a gun is heightened by us knowing what they're doing, and seeing their screen. Observers (including police) won't see that. They'll see kids (and maybe some adults) taking pictures of each other.

Maybe they should paint the lens device bright orange...

Sorry, looks pretty cool to me. And looks a LOT more like people taking pictures than using a gun.
