I’ve only gotten to play with the PlayStation Vita’s augmented reality functions for a few minutes, but the portable system’s relatively powerful processor and high-resolution screen does a good job of selling the “magic” overlay effect.
Does it look as good as this demonstration reel from Sony? Not quite — in real life, you’ll be peering through a much smaller viewport.

Wouldn’t be hard, the 3DS’s AR is a little slow.
