AR cannot turn imagination into templates, it requires empirical data to build from. On the other hand, memorized templates can be reverse-engineered in their finest details, which allows immense customizations, especially when re-combined with other reverse-engineered templates.

The whole procedure is also operated on a mental level, which makes it look a lot like the "turning imagination into reality" you mentioned, but limited to informations already collected.
