How could virtual objects be useful given the current technology? i.e. at most, virtual objects can only be display on your mobile phone, not merged with your own vision etc.

Virtual objects are different because of the way they are deployed. Location is the first class parameter when a virtual object is deployed/published. This is different from other online information. Users perceive location as the first class parameter too.
Given the current technical limitation, i.e. virtual objects can only be visible/sensible through a specific display, it's hard to imagine some more advanced applications. If there is no such limitation, what advanced applications would be?
When thinking about virtual objects, I can't help thinking of other location based information applications, such as location based weather/disaster forcasting, location based blogging, location based tip sharing. Virtual objects are actually location based information. Is it meaningful to have virtual objects a fine-grained sub-category of location based information?
How are virtual objects (that live in our real world) different from other location based information?
