Wasnt augmented reality supposed to give us an ad-free world by now?

I'm not one who to get excited about new technology but i acually get hard at the thought of a pair of glasses that can convert every billboard ad i see into a solid block of colour, or, better yet, h r giger-ifies it.

This is the only part of the future I'm genuinely looking forward to.

You can't seriously think that AR shit will lead to less ads.

Lol, lmao :marseybigbrain:

If AR ever becomes widespread, companies are going to pay to have their ads digitally plastered on every single square inch of the physical world. You'd have promotional ads in your bathroom mirror and digital billboards in your lawn.

Ever tried to buy a smart/fitness watch which doesn't sell you out? There's like 2 options at the moment and the one with actual features says they more for devs at this moment.

I'm in the process of flashing asteroid to the one I got for Christmas, but it won't even let you access the dev options without connecting it to your phone :marseyraging:

The one funny bit from the Ready Player One film was when the evil corporation was testing how many ads they could simultaneously display on a VR headset before the user starts having seizures.

That's a common decker tactic in shadowrun too. The "ad flashbang" where the target is suddenly inundated with flashy loud AR ads was a favorite of one group.

Why would that ever be something that happened? It's obviously the opposite, AR can be used to fill up all that unused "empty air" with profitable adverts!

Would be pretty cool to just schizopill yourself and have a "They Live" filter for augmented reality glasses
