RE: Augmented Reality: Good or Bad? Interview with Lucyd

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago

Thanks for providing great content again Heidi!

I have some thoughts regarding your interview questions that I want to share:

<<One thing that I can’t ignore is how these smart glasses will be equipped with a camera, will there be security features implemented to ensure that users privacy is honored?>>

Who cares about the users privacy? I feel like in this field it is way more important to keep the privacy of everyone around the user. Many of us already are not comfortable with all these smartphone cameras around us. You'll never know when someone takes a picture or even a video of you. A device that is constantly collecting and comparing data trough a camera seems dystopic then don't you think?

<<What kind of impact do you see these glasses having on the individuals who use them? Positive and negative?>>

Here my concerns are again in regards of the impact on the surrounding people, not the user. You might get the feeling of being watched all the time.

Am I the only one with concerns like this? Can you relate? I am open for discussion or just reading new ideas regarding this topic.

Thanks for starting this discussion, I'd love to explore these thoughts more with you and others.

There's many concerns when it comes to wearing a device that is capable of recording and it is discreet looking. Perhaps I need to better explain my question as I think it's also something important to consider.

Imagine any photo or video you record on your device is then sent to a blockchain. Where it can never be deleted. I'd imagine you'd also be concerned about the security for that data. In an age where privacy is pretty much nonexistent, adding to that the risk of your very personal information and experiences being stored indefinitely, my concern is that the security of that information would be equally immutable.

I agree with you 100%. This was the issue with Google Glass. It was recording everyone all the time which is an invasion of privacy and a real turn off too. And he didn't have an answer to that he said that it will only be an issue in the early days I completely disagree. who is going to let you record them all of the time? These glasses will not work with a camera. @heiditravels what are your thoughts please?

My guess is that these companies wont ever be succesful until there are laws and regulations. Until then the nerds will love the technology and the public will refuse to adopt it in their lifes.

I think you are right. $2000 for vr glasses. I do not see that becoming successful.
