Re: Handy iPhone Software
by Dewi Morgan
I worry about realistic augmented reality. It's OK to augment reality... but what if an added virtual monster hides a real, fastmoving car? Will you be the first ambulance on the scene then, or when a policeman fires on a child who pointed his aug-mouse(tm) at the policeman? "It looked like a gun," the shaken policeman says "and he was shouting 'die, demon pig scum'... how was I to know his game aug'd me to be a cacodemon?'" Augmented reality is one of the most exciting things I've ever read about, but I always wonder how it will go wrong, or be abused... will a hacker write software to "edit out" all blue cars from the game's perceived reality? Who's responsible? The hacker? What if it was a bug? The programmer? The driver? The court cases will be FASCINATING.

Welcome to Random Acts Of Reality, a Blog based in London, England, written by an E.M.T working for the London Ambulance Service. Also, number one search result for "Womble porn". All names have be changed to protect the guilty. This Blog was previously known as "Why I Hate Humanity" but the antipsychotic medication seems to have kicked in.
