News for August 2009

augmented id

Mobile devices with cameras. Using augmented reality. And facial recognition technology. And online databases. To identify people, places, things. All around you. To show you not only who that random guy on the bus is, but also his facebook, last.fm, twitter, phone number?

I find this:

  1. Enthralling. Hopeful. We can do anything with our phones and we’re making everything work together and it’s amazing and progressive and exciting.
  2. Terrifying. Everyone is big brother/everyone is being watched.
