He claims that AR will “fundamentally” change our society, and not for the better.
Rosenberg says he is both convinced that augmented reality will become central to life, and it will be “magical,” but warned of negative consequences related to “legitimate uses” of the technology “by the powerful platform providers that will control the infrastructure.” He did not mention Facebook, or its operator Meta, by name.
The scientist noted that AR could be altered by third parties who can inject their own content, perhaps as a paid filter layer that only certain people can see.
Giving an example, the scientist noted that floating information bubbles could be added above the heads of fellow users to include descriptive words like “Alcoholic” or “Immigrant” or “Atheist” or “Racist.”
