Smartphones have long aspired to break down the barriers between users and the digital realm. For the most part, this has been successful. So much so, that many people view their smartphones as an extension of themselves. In a sense, technology has become a part of us. Augmented reality takes this idea to the next level by fully merging the digital with the physical. However, one serious drawback of this technology is that it makes it even harder to unplug. Spending a few hours staring at your phone is bad enough, but what about being immersed all day in a digitally altered environment? What kind of effect would that have on us?

What if you played a game and didn't like it so you change the goals to justify the obsession to gain dopamine which will make you really good at that game especially if you have addiction problems be careful who you choose to play they might like the game a lot

Author Vernor Vinge's near-future scifi novel "Rainbows End", written in the early 2000s, speculated on the social and political drawbacks and ramifications of augmented reality. If you're interested in the topic, I highly reccommend it as an inspiring and accurate prediction.

Augmented reality isn't a threat. The real world is getting more and more dangerous, we'll be living in pods hooked to VR instead

We need technology to help peole live better lifes, control inflation, fix tax issues, inequality, the democracy system, and pretty much things that can help human prosper better instead making people spend more for entertainment. Alot of future inventions and whatever else design is next is only meant to take money out of your pocket. It's time we have invention that puts money back in our pockets.

Great video! I was thinking about learning how to code AR myself. I am mainly interested in the educational aspect and how it may be a new way to learn and grasp difficult concepts more easily.
I really hope future AR developers are responsible and realize how much power they will have over our lives… but I don’t have much hope.. especially when hundreds of thousands of dollars are thrown at them.. unfortunately they don’t teach ethics in school, or even mention it.. but it’s so important for our future wellbeing. ❤

The last few Pokemon Presents updates and the quality of the newer mainline games are proof enough that the companies who own it don't give a crap about it, let alone the fans. It has become overly-complicated and twisted into one of the tools for the elites to mess with our heads and looks nothing like the source of fun and artistic inspiration it used to be. The same can be said about other long-running genre, reboots, etc., and it's all the more proof that we should unplug from the mainstream garbage. Up and coming artists should go indie and not let their work be tainted by horrible entities like Hollywood or mainstream media outlets.

What's wrong with gamifying your life? If anything you're enhancing a lot of people's ADHD and getting them to complete tasks.

I love niantic, I used it during 2020-22. During 2021-2022 I lost 60 pounds because I have been trying to get 10k steps a week. I did a paper on it last quarter and I found out that technology can improve marginally our health but it is increased when doing it with others both together or with the accountability. This is great because pokemon go has a great community and the gamification of the app incentivizes getting the steps in for pokemon, pokebals and etc to help in the game. I have also been trying to compete with friends with my apple watch and complete the rings. Technology and AR has great impact to our lives.

What if I told you that Pokemon (Pocket Monster/demons) Go Game was built by the CIA in conjunction with Nintendo to map out people's houses, streets and neighborhoods and you provided the data?

I'm so glad I one day stumbled upon your channel. Your information never seases to inspire me. Yet with this subject I am very interested in how much of our fears of augmented reality will become a reality. When the telephone got invented some feared people won't talk to each other anymore. Then radio was feared that it would inflict violence into youth – the same goes for video games in the early 90s.
The difference is however that the fears we now have for augmented reality are based on previous experiences on how things can be misused, such as the worryingly good example of the supermarket scenario presented in this video.
I have no answer to this all. All I know is that I will not be the first to willingly undergo full augmented reality myself without having seen the results of others who underwent it first.
But enough talk. I have a Pikachu here of some strange color whivh I must have. The ambulance with front entrance will have to wait.

Ugh, watching that little mockup of what full AR integration could be like made me want to vomit. Like I actually felt nauseated and like I wanted to go hide. That looks awful.

Really? Tap Pikachu on the head?? lmfao. Now that's a stretch. You'd need a device that is implanted in your body that activates the touch sensors in your hands to make you feel what you see through AR.

You didn't mention the likelihood of companies attempting to zombify the consumer. You assume that they are benevolent beyond comprehension but the truth is that they they screwe the consumer over and over again. Since Apple got to play too. Every company tries to take the costumers pants off and financially rape them. They make always profit with the agony of others, from animals that get tortured till people that get tortured by soliciting desires to get worthless items/Labor. And then sucking the money with Abonnements and Premium things that aren't Premium but mondain.

So the trends we're seeing happening with smartphones is bad therefore Moving away from smartphones into a more holistic experience is also bad?
Also you took clips from Hyper Reality out of context. The people who made that cautionary tale, have now made an entire conference venue in AR.

You can call it gaming addiction or you can look at the ugly sad truth, that virtual worlds of often many many times more desirable than this terrible extremely unfair world we find ourselves in.

1:15 BRO my man if that crappy overlay, basically a built in cheap green screen thing is "immersive AR" Then I'm questioning if you edited this video recently or in 2016 and even then in was crap, nothing like the tarilers and the people that got "distracted" were not because of pokemon go's AR its because they're were trying to go to places that they shouldn't where a rare pokemon spawned most likely and on top of that they're were most likely idiots…
(idk how else to say it i love your vids I'm a recent sub and I'm watching a lot of your vids now, great voice and eiditng btw, BUT this part made me cringe as you sound like your 50+ lol also its just misinformation)
