Sid woke up with the angry buzzing from his nightstand. Feeling around in the dark, he set down the silent cellphone and unplugged alarm clock. The AR glasses buzzed again, tiny gyroscopes shaking it noisily against painted wood, its lenses flashing. Groggily, he put on the glasses, wrinkling his nose to get them to the comfortable place high on the bridge of his nose. For a moment, he squinted in the darkness.
He held his hand out in front of his face, and flashed the hand gesture to activate the heads up display. A glowing tablet popped into existence, offering three icons bearing the time, date, and weather. He tugged on the bottom of the weather icon, and it rolled up with a flap-flap-flap, displaying a window onto the street outside. He tilted his head back, looking at the clouds; it was raining. He waved his hand and the display vanished, then flashed the hand-sign for "directory".
Glowing tablets representing his suite of apps lined up in his room. He tapped on one, his "Stiki" app, then closed the directory. A softly glowing note hung on his wall: "Buy eggs."
