include the predicted probable advertisement in the second information; and
re-create a virtual advertisement of the predicted probable advertisement on a personal computing device.
18 . The system of claim 15 , wherein to correlate further configures the system to correlate a second portion of the advertisement different from the first portion of the advertisement, wherein the second portion of the advertisement is sensed by the first wearable-computing device.
19 . The system of claim 15 , wherein to correlate further configures the system to correlate an orientation angle associated with the first wearable-computing device, wherein the orientation angle is included in the first information.
20 . The system of claim 15 , wherein to correlate further configures the system to correlate a third information sensed from a second wearable-computing device different than the first wearable-computing device, wherein the third information was previously sensed by the second wearable-computing device at the location of the first wearable-computing device.
21 . The system of claim 1 , wherein to identify further configures the system to:
compare the first information against characteristics associated with the plurality of previously stored advertisements; and
match the first information to at least one characteristic associated with one of the plurality of previously stored advertisements.
22 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the second information is not included in the first information.
23 . The system of claim 1 , wherein the second information is configured to respond to the location of the first wearable-computing device.

25 . The system of claim 24 , wherein the action to be performed includes purchasing a product associated with the identified advertisement.
26 . The system of claim 24 , wherein the action to be performed includes purchasing a service associated with the identified advertisement
27 . The system of claim 24 , wherein the action to be performed comprises at least one of a request for additional information about a product, an instruction to store the second information, an instruction to transmit the second information, a request to purchase the product, a request to note an interest in the product, a request to put the user on a wish-list for the product, a request for pricing of the product, a request for other transactional information about the product other than pricing of the product, a request to check inventory availability about the product, a request to check competitive sources for the product, or a request to check alternative sources for the product associated with the identified advertisement.
28 . The system of claim 24 , wherein the action to be performed comprises at least one of a request for additional information about a service, a request to purchase the service, a request to note an interest in the service, a request to put the user on a wish-list for the service, a request for pricing of the service, a request for other transactional information about the service other than pricing of the service, a request to check inventory availability for the service, a request to check competitive sources for the service, or a request to check alternative sources for the service associated with the identified advertisement.
