If you have a Kinect and Goggles and an augmented reality program, what would you create?

Apparently a Japanese anime singer girlfriend, so you could bop her on the head.  I can't figure out any of this, but Hackaday gives it a shot so give them a read.  I just know that, weird dynamic with the virtual girlfriend aside, this is darn cool.

Dance, Hatsune Miku, dance!
