Real wars: Warhammer meets Armymen in augmented reality
Although clearly a work in progress, French designer Frantz Lasorne's ARToolkit built augmented reality concept appears to be some of the most sensible and achievable game design I've seen for the still-budding tech, and more than anything, makes me lust for an animated real-world Advance Wars.
There's many more screens, concept art and presentation slides on the project via Lasorne's site. Interestingly, he's taken criticisms of its war-game hook quite heavily to heart, and posted an additional extensive thesis about the game on its vimeo page.

He needs to hack in a way to track "button presses" when his finger touches one of the little tiles around the base, instead of having to center the crosshairs on the desired icon.

Now this would be the way to play tabletop minis games. Sign me up. I wear glasses already...just give me the gizmo to project onto them.
