DESCRIPTION:There has recently been a surge of development in 
 augmented reality (AR) technologies that has led t
 o an ecosystem of hardware and software for AR\, w
 hich includes tools for artists and designers to a
 ccelerate the design of AR content and experiences
  without requiring complex programming. AR is ther
 efore viewed as a key “disruptive technology” and 
 future display technologies (such as digital eyewe
 ar) aim to provide seamless continuity between rea
 lity and the digitally augmented. This paper will 
 begin with an overview of recent technological adv
 ances in virtual reality and augmented reality tha
 t have led to new hopes for the future of these te
 chnologies\, followed by discussion on philosophic
 al and sociological entailments.\n\nFinally\, this
  paper will argue that enchantment has been a pers
 istent background throughout the formation of mode
 rnity and is being rekindled by the integration of
  AI in the plane of AR. The technologisation of hu
 man perception and experience of reality\, coupled
  with the development of AI based natural language
  assistants\, may therefore lead to a re-enchantme
 nt of the world\, where human life becomes shaped 
 by AR inhabited by advanced personal and social AI
  agents in the form of digital avatars and daemons
 .
