it sounds good, until you realize that it needs not only AR glasses, but one with built in cameras.
such glasses need to be banned yesterday. AR glasses are obviously not the problem, but basically walking always on cameras are
Ban them? No.
While there are misuses and privacy invasions, they still can be beneficial for some people. Bracket bans only harm those who can truely benefit from it (visual impaired, deaf, folks who need translations etc )
Special permits are a non issue. Disguised in any way cameras should be banned outright tbh
yes. ban them. they are already illegal in civilized countries for recording people without their expressed consent.
ok, maybe I wasn’t clear, ban them from public spaces, including venues. you can use it at home if you want, and at your friends if they don’t send you home for it.
folks who need translations
they can point their phones’ focused camera on the text they want to translate.
for disabilities, we need to research tools that allow affected people to exist more freely while being compatible with privacy.
yes, I’m also against artificial eyes that work electronically or can connect to an electronic system
I’m starting to think that without the advertisement industry that the whole world’s capitalistic societies would collapse. Where else is value so subjective that you can earn a million bucks if you are slightly famous and in a 30 second commercial.
Just be like the French and ban billboard advertising. No need for these stupid gadgets.
French cities are banning billboards - https://www.marketplace.org/story/2023/03/06/french-cities-are-banning-billboards
Vermont bans billboards already
Waow
Super clever project, but goddamn does this need feel so dystopian.
I’m all for the “SLEEP 8 HOURS” bit though. I need more of that in my life.
If anything this is an overly optimistic representation of consumerism given that they limit work to 8 hours and encourage 8 hours of play
No hours left for housework, eating, or shitting.
If there’s a real world screen showing a real world ad to you, you’ve got to be really careful not to lean against the screen with a broken spark plug or some other sort of ceramic shard, because you could easily shatter the screen and make it really hard for you and other people to be advertised to 👉👈🥺
GoogleDuckDuckGo “Tactical Pen” 😏Save money and get a spring loaded center punch at a hardware store.
Or one of these. It blends in better with the rest of your pens in a bag.
What is that first one used for? It’s grouped with leatherworking tools when I look at it.
Center punch for drilling holes. It makes a little indent in whatever (leather, metal, wood) so your drill bit doesn’t walk from your center mark, or sometimes in the case of leather, give you a starting point for your awl.
Oh that’s actually convenient… For $3 I will have to pick one up.
If you can superimpose a blocker over real-world ads, you can superimpose ads onto plain walls too
I’ll turn to spray paint and vandalism if we ever reach that kind of ad hellscape.
Any AR or XR glasses that don’t sell your data to everyone who gives a shady glance? or can be modified not to?
Seems to me pointless, biggest one being, if this was developed in a working manner, and was used… advertisers would mix between going more subtle, or more obnoxious. Just like on the web.
IE subway stations could put say a code you need to get into the subway in the middle of an advertisement. IE the real life equivelant of “you must disable your adblocker to continue”.
