I don't have anything to add about Squeak and AR, except for a 
possibility.  David Smith visited here a few weeks ago, and got a 
chance to interact with folks in our Augmented Environments Laboratory 
(http://www.cc.gatech.edu/ael/).  The AEL folks have a toolkit for AR 
(built on top of Director) called DART 
(http://www.gvu.gatech.edu/dart/), and David (of course) showed them 
Croquet.  The AEL folks were pretty excited about Croquet, in the sense 
that of its high performance while being written in Squeak, so I know 
that some of them are starting to explore Squeak as a possible future 
platform for DART-like things.
