The augmented reality of our lives is forcing us to think about not just where we are but where we intend to be and how we want to see it.
To visualize our reality through wearable technology will enhance our experience of what is before us. Anything from video games to critical results of health care tests add to the diversity of such a reality.
I suppose I will have to absorb the fact that nothing is what it seems. A car is not just a car, countertop not just a countertop and so on. Transforming our surroundings into a stage for virtual reality is a frightening thing. As the article states, the world is “just too boring for many people”. So now that we have labeled it boring we must make it excited. Do we always have to figure out a way to be entertained? What ever happened to having a boring day, in the park with a great book a wonderful bottle of wine being enough? Or would it be more interesting to put on a pair of glasses and visualize a more stimulating environment, with your kindle in hand and a sommelier talking you through your wine choices.
I will take boring for now that is, until I am forced to join the stampede of others forging to new exciting technologies.
