When Augmented Reality Fails

Here's a cute French short film bringing us another vision of augmented reality. Don't worry about the French at the few first seconds (saying that in the near future we are always connected through "cerebral chips" and "retina screens"), the visuals are self explanatory.



Though this clip is online for more than a year, I've just found about it via Life 2.0, and I think it deserves its own post.

Wow just watched that 10 seconds before I came to this site. Interesting take although that would be a very chaotic life to lead. I'm not sure I would want an arrow telling me what direction to go all the time.

Mildly creepy. Has a nice Orwellian dystipian feel to it. I like it.

This short film beautifully illustrates a potential pitfall of augmented reality. Imagine a world oversaturated with digital information. It makes you wonder, will we ever truly disconnect? Perhaps simpler pleasures, like the joy found in classic io games, offer a healthier escape than constant connectivity. It's a thought-provoking look at a future where reality might be more augmented than real.
