Let me guess… you’re worried because you’re finding your mobile phone too big, unwieldy and unmanageable? You also dream of walking the streets wearing a pair of specs feeding you unnecessary details about everything you look at?

I guess innovation’s good, but I’m reaching the conclusion they’re trying to make tech simply because they can, not because we need it…

While participants saw benefits like improved focus and privacy, concerns around missing important information and isolation also emerged.
Our findings highlight the need for intuitive #XR ad-blocking controls and we provide guidelines for future content-blocking XR design.

www.alexandria.unisg.chAd-Blocked Reality: Evaluating User Perceptions of Content Blocking Concepts Using Extended RealityInspired by the concepts of diminishing reality and ad-blocking in browsers, this study investigates the perceived benefits and concerns of blocking physical, real-world content, particularly ads, through Extended Reality (XR). To understand how users perceive this concept, we first conducted a user study (n=18) with an adblocking prototype to gather initial insights. The results revealed a mixed willingness to adopt XR blockers, with participants appreciating aspects such as customizability, convenience, and privacy. Expected benefits included enhanced focus and reduced stress, while concerns centered on missing important information and increased feelings of isolation. Hence, we investigated the user acceptance of different ad-blocking visualizations through a follow-up online survey (n=120), comparing six concepts based on related work. The results indicated that the XR ad-blocker visualizations play a significant role in how and for what kinds of advertisements such a concept might be used, paving the path for future feedback-driven prototyping.

LX Beckett's "Gamechanger" imagines people living in extremely ascetic rooms, but filling the walls with #augmentedReality connections to their friends' places - or purely virtual mind palaces, where they meet and interact non-physically.

I like this vision, but can we think farther?

Can we imagine such telepresence on the level of whole communities, sharing virtual walls with a "partnered city", "partnered community" somewhere else in the world?

Niantic trainiert ein Large Geospatial Model (LGM) mit Spielerdaten aus Pokémon Go & Ingress, um KI räumliches Verständnis zu ermöglichen. Ziel: KI soll physische Räume wahrnehmen & interagieren können – Potenziale für AR, Raumplanung & Logistik.

Do you remember the Pokémon Go craze a few years ago? Now, its players are getting scammed by the game's maker, Niantic. The company has jumped onto the AI bandwagon and is selling player data -- all those locations they sent you to, and all those photos you dutifully took are being fed into AI training.

If you're sick of hearing about Large Language Models (LLMs), get ready for Large Geospatial Model (LGM) hype!

Currently, it appears to be at the stage where Niantic has had dreams of monetisation, put up a "For Sale" sign, spaffed a bunch of AI hype on their website, and baited a trap to get the gullible with a bunch of techy sounding keywords such AI and Augmented Reality (see attached screenshot).
Will it cost a lot of money? Yes.
Will it burn a lot of electricity and cause a lot of pollution? Yes.
Will it amount to anything useful?
No, I don't think so.
