Smartphones have long aspired to break down the barriers between users and the digital realm. For the most part, this has been successful. So much so, that many people view their smartphones as an extension of themselves. In a sense, technology has become a part of us. Augmented reality takes this idea to the next level by fully merging the digital with the physical. However, one serious drawback of this technology is that it makes it even harder to unplug. Spending a few hours staring at your phone is bad enough, but what about being immersed all day in a digitally altered environment? What kind of effect would that have on us?

12:50 Created by companies that only have their own financial interests in mind... If we're not careful, we might find ourselves living in a society where every aspect of our lives becomes a competition. Hurry-the first 200 people get 20% off... I love your videos man but this seems really hypocritical.
Sir can i re dubbed in hindi language
To clarify: VR brings players into the world. AR brings the world into ours. This distinction is important because it determines who plays and how based on personality traits.
“A world”
The fantasy being a world where rules exist that creates characters. The over a simply referred to the concept of Pokémon brand.
Virtual Reality is a Fake Reality while Augmented Reality is the Reality which is augmented or changed artificially.
@@Arcticanine I wouldn't say this for two reasons. For one, the virtual world for some people allows them, even while it is a fantasy, to grow through a simulation. Second, the real world isn't being augmented as much as it is being layered. The world doesn't change, just the layers syneegise together.
@@isaacphoenix9200 Even if it does, it's still a fake reality. Doesn't mean that fake is a bad thing, just not real. I couldn't think of a better word for AR but layering makes sense.
I'm a User Experience Designer and Researcher who has a background in Anthropology/the Humanities and I love to apply that background to pinpoint and solve design and interaction problems for the most people possible.
My personal approach to design is creating effective solutions to problems that people already have, not trying to sell them things, subscriptions, gadgets and gizmos you think you might need to solve an imaginary problem that was marketed to you. This paradigm has been the prevailing one for decades now and....look where that's gotten us.
One thing people should know NOW is that it's OK to unplug, get off social media, delete apps you're not using. I invite you to actually do an assessment of how many apps you look at how many apps you use the least and get rid of them. Be introspective and see if the apps you're using are tools for you to live life better and, if you're wasting time and sanity on toxic ones, put more value on real-world life, disconnect and delete them.
All the rewards, badges and digital goodies we show off to "others" are still just 1s and 0s after all...
I'm glad you're addressing this topic because it highlights the worst case scenario in how future tech will play out. I'm hoping that more people will be able to have a more compassionate, holistic approach in design tech so it works for and with us instead of against us.
In the not so distant features rewarsds for games are going to be more tangible though it wont be just 1 s and 0 s, i agree with you being healthy with something should be a priority but in the future i predict it will be harder and harder to just put it down as it might actual shape part of your real life to
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on the topic.
I'm so glad I one day stumbled upon your channel. Your information never seases to inspire me. Yet with this subject I am very interested in how much of our fears of augmented reality will become a reality. When the telephone got invented some feared people won't talk to each other anymore. Then radio was feared that it would inflict violence into youth - the same goes for video games in the early 90s.
The difference is however that the fears we now have for augmented reality are based on previous experiences on how things can be misused, such as the worryingly good example of the supermarket scenario presented in this video.
I have no answer to this all. All I know is that I will not be the first to willingly undergo full augmented reality myself without having seen the results of others who underwent it first.
But enough talk. I have a Pikachu here of some strange color whivh I must have. The ambulance with front entrance will have to wait.
Seems like Cyberpunk 2077 is exactly where we'll be in 50 years.
Yes, but maybe more like Shadowrun (just without magic). Gene therapy can make people look inhuman, and Corporations will dominate politics in a more overt way.
Do you think our 2077 will be like what the future is depicted in Cyberpunk 2077?
@@ApertureThinking seeing how fast technology changed in last 10 years, 50 years time is too much development for tech.
And then what happens when we say, "Hey Siri, turn my room into the a magical mushroom forrest with naked purple ladies and rainbow unicorns."? I might never leave. Programs like DALL-E are already doing this in 2D.
Your videos are always so insightful and incredible! Great topic too!
Thank you for your support!
Each day we slowly get closer and closer to real-life Cyberpunk
Just without the awful frame rate
Clu: "I took the system to it's maximum potential, I created the perfect system!"
Kevin Flynn: "The thing about perfection is that it's unknowable, it's impossible but it's also right in front of us all the time! You wouldn't know that because I didn't when I created you."
Anyone else just have a complete apathy to social media?
I hate how money is not always correlated to positive value. Companies can be successful either by delivering positive or negative value. There are a lot of profitable businesses in the world. The question is, do they bring positive benefits to society? Or are they being purely driven by financial gain in mind? Ignoring any other negative impact that it could bring.
Interesting video. Makes me contemplate existence in its entirety.
Thanks for watching!
Your videos are peak UA-cam in my opinion they are exactly my cup of tea
Life is already a game. The longest game you’ll ever play.
Life is but a blip, on the entire span of your conciousness, which if not infinite, it at least predates the universe, or so Socrates believed.
@@aromagrande1914 let's just expand our finite existence as long as possible and see the end of this universe, if that's what you are concerned about. I'm optimistic about human's potential, despite the current messed up incidents
I just think that the technology came too fast for us humans to be able to comprehend it. More and more people are leaving social media and buying "dumb-phones". I think schools will start to learn children about the dangers of social media and game addictions in the future. Remember that the older generations are always last in adapting new technology. They were not born with it and were not prepared for it, but they are the ones that drive our society. I think that we will eventually start to adapt in better ways to our new technological world
I'm one of these people that you described and, I'm only 22. Technology and society has changed so drastically in the past 30 years which is before my time that, my escape is to simply attempt to live the closest I can to 1997. I own a cell that is a flip. Unfortunately it has touch-screen capabilities and is a smartphone. I record and play cassettes as my music medium. Every car I own and drive...the newest I own is from 1991 and that to me is still relatively new. I own Tube TV's, boomboxes, a rotary landline (plan on activating) and even a Motorola star-tac which, I plan to invest a shit ton of money to get someone or some company to convert this analog cell into a cellphone that can function on these futuristic 4g lte networks that we all rely on. I cannot stand this century and wish I was never born in the year 2000. A year later, 9/11 happened and the world was never the same since. I've only seen the WTC through books, films and video games. I wish I could've actually visited it though no, I was born in the era I CANNOT stand to live in. I live life happy with the artifacts I own while at the same time unhappy with the reality I have to bear with while ALSO depressed over the future that awaits me. Shit, everyone embraces it though me? No. Life is only going to get harder for me as artifacts, people-everything from those days becomes more degraded, rare, financially desirable which, increases the costs to ridiculous rates until it is all forgotten to the past. Becomes history. An example of this is vehicles from the 1930s up to the 1970s now. Prices are skyrocketing to crazy heights due to how desirable and, uncommon they are now. It's terrible. Just what I have to live with for the rest of my life.
Conspicuous in its absence from this video is the "rewards" program (GMC-Visa, Air Miles etc). It is part of the same family: datamining. AR is only the lipstick on the pig.
Great video! I was thinking about learning how to code AR myself. I am mainly interested in the educational aspect and how it may be a new way to learn and grasp difficult concepts more easily.
I really hope future AR developers are responsible and realize how much power they will have over our lives… but I don’t have much hope.. especially when hundreds of thousands of dollars are thrown at them.. unfortunately they don’t teach ethics in school, or even mention it.. but it’s so important for our future wellbeing. ❤
Your videos always amaze me ❤️
The support is very appreciated! 🙂
Another home run. Love the channel and the content.
The only reason I panic when I lose my phone is what if I get a call from a family member saying another family member is Injured and is in the hospital. Or maybe I will get a phone call for a job. I could do fine without it, it's just a convenient tool in my perspective. I'm not nearly as addicted as most people are, I've ditched most social media anyways its just not worth losing brain cells over.
Running into the woods with nothing but a hatchet and building a log house is slowly becoming more appealing
Regarding Pokemon Go, I have to say that the more I listen to it the more I find problems with people doing stuff like that. The game is definitely partly to blame, I cannot disagree there but so are the people who whip out a phone while driving or jump over fences by will. Unless the game is sending out some radiowaves that messes with our head (Which I highly doubt is the case), the people themselves are at least 50% to blame.
During the time I had my phone away for a 3 day repair, I had a mental breakdown.
Thanks for da video, I’m messing with this new UA-cam update too. Cool layout to view videos on my iPhone.
Meta acquiring Luxexcel made me finally positive about the AR glass future. How Luxexcel is 3D printing those glasses is incredible
18 years later and I'm still addicted to WoW....
The mall tech was what I imagined would happen with ecommerce but in a computer 10 years ago..with AR it can be good but as you said it will be gamified
This is quite well shown in the s1 of black mirror
The world is slowly turning into the "Black mirror" episode...
Love the video Aperture!!! KEEP IT UP!!! U have a subscriber 4 lyfe!!!! 😇👍
It's my dream to use PHOTOSHOP in SPACE with a augmented screen in front my eyes. Metaverse could make it possible.
Lots of love ❤️ you are best
I want to request you for opening a separate channel for philosophy.
Cause you are actually very good in philosophy.
Thank you
Thank you for good information i'll try to improve myself
Humanity as a whole is definitely not mentally prepared for the tech we already have, let alone the endless possibilities of it.
Sad that power hungry and greedy people, not only capitalists but also predators, will probably use this against people who actually to connect, explore. And to influence younger individuals.
(idk how much sense this makes, but i'm open to opinions)
😂😂😂🗑️🗑️🗑️💯💯💯
The Pokemon event shaped my school days,i ignored because i saw it as people getting crazy over something not that relevant. And now when i see this video , i realise they were indeed crazy. Therefore it's important to tell this generation that excess information is bad. Human brain in not good at comprehending simultaneous flow of large information and escape manipulation. So it's better to stick to fundamentals of our origin .
Really great coverage of AR - love it!
I love niantic, I used it during 2020-22. During 2021-2022 I lost 60 pounds because I have been trying to get 10k steps a week. I did a paper on it last quarter and I found out that technology can improve marginally our health but it is increased when doing it with others both together or with the accountability. This is great because pokemon go has a great community and the gamification of the app incentivizes getting the steps in for pokemon, pokebals and etc to help in the game. I have also been trying to compete with friends with my apple watch and complete the rings. Technology and AR has great impact to our lives.
I wonder how many ppl are addicted to stalker video games and could not live a day without it. Feeling rewarded being admired to come up with a new idea to create confusion or inflict pain. Competitive bullying.
Love you man, keep up the good work
Author Vernor Vinge's near-future scifi novel "Rainbows End", written in the early 2000s, speculated on the social and political drawbacks and ramifications of augmented reality. If you're interested in the topic, I highly reccommend it as an inspiring and accurate prediction.
4:54 i dont think ive ever lost my phone tbh now that i think about it the last time i lost my phone was when i dropped it accedently to the ocean about 6 years ago and it was a week when i got my first phone since then i have never lost my phone not even once wow
That video of are you are playing in the background is actually from my country(colombia) damn imagine something like that existed without data being collected
I do suppose AR could help low vison people too right?
Well whatever the future holds with technology development driving the world one will have to adapt to it whether you like it or not, you still got to live.
Better die then living in a dystopia 😊
What program do you use to make your videos?
he uses splice video editor
@@vanzwho854 thanks man
The last few Pokemon Presents updates and the quality of the newer mainline games are proof enough that the companies who own it don't give a crap about it, let alone the fans. It has become overly-complicated and twisted into one of the tools for the elites to mess with our heads and looks nothing like the source of fun and artistic inspiration it used to be. The same can be said about other long-running genre, reboots, etc., and it's all the more proof that we should unplug from the mainstream garbage. Up and coming artists should go indie and not let their work be tainted by horrible entities like Hollywood or mainstream media outlets.
Apple vision pro is really going to basically be more bigger then the pokemon go hype back in 2016 and great video Aperture :]
I believe I'm different than the average set of people in this century as I still use a flip-phone. Unfortunately it is not an analog cell as I would prefer that though at least it's a basic cell. Cat S22. When I think I misplaced my cell: Yes, I do get concerned and immediately search for it though not because I am addicted to it-no way, my PC is the benefactor in that case though, I immediately search because it is an important form of communication for me. I'm a truck driver and, payphones are way less common than they were a decade ago. About the only thing I do on my cell is make phonecalls and to check my emails. All texts I receive I immediately call the number back. I am 22 and I do NOT appreciate the rapid expansion of technology. Slow the fuck down! If I had it my way, I would live in 1997 for the rest of my life. That is "modern" to me.
nobody : spending your whole day in front of your PC / phones
esports proplayer : EZ
AR glasses, bio-chips, and AI all rising at once should concern everybody.
Good shout on taking Gamification away from the title, its like the Despacito of neologisms 😂
love your videos
Beautiful

idgaf if I lose my phone but I feel quite lost without my PC
PC mustard race for life
You can call it gaming addiction or you can look at the ugly sad truth, that virtual worlds of often many many times more desirable than this terrible extremely unfair world we find ourselves in.
it sounds like these people died out of stupidity more than it is Pokemon Go's fault
Why did my brain think of the portal 2 infographics as soon as I saw the channel name
Great video, can you talk about Socrates the father of Westhern philosophy please.
We are slowly moving to jurrasic park technology
But what is the motivation behind wanting to compete for points, likes, followers and so on?
I mean, I can understand some people want to have a lot of likes, be famous, be the first in some ways.
What I do not understand is taking this so serious. I mean, I thought until some years ago that this are just some kind of hobbies.. they are more like addiction.
I barely exist on internet and barely feel any addictive thoughts towards anything.. so this is kinda strange for me. And I am far from antisocial and not relating to most of my friends but internet stuff: likes, followers, wanting some kind of internet status is really really weird in my opinion
We are in the future of what people in 1980 thought about
I'm predicting it right now - the next form of art after cinema and games will be ARGs involving AR technologies. Imagine a world where you scan a random QR code on the street with your AR contact lenses and receive a message with a clue to how to get to the next step of the game you just entered. Not necessarily in a cyberpunk horror /Jigsaw kind of way, but more like a fun treasure hunt, changing the reality around you as you progress in the ARG, which feels like a real adventure involving you, but written and curated by unknown artists behind the scenes. Isn't that an amazing idea? It's like videogames, but the platform is real world now
That already exists, its been here for awhile.
@Aperture Is social media your primary source of income ?
This is how I’ve always felt and what I see coming regardless if we like it or not. I wish people would understand. Even if you feel it’s far fetched. Is it really?
We need technology to help peole live better lifes, control inflation, fix tax issues, inequality, the democracy system, and pretty much things that can help human prosper better instead making people spend more for entertainment. Alot of future inventions and whatever else design is next is only meant to take money out of your pocket. It's time we have invention that puts money back in our pockets.
Babee, aperture uploaded a new video
Fuck I hate myself
i think you're pretty ok
Manufacturing consent for voluntary mass surveillance.
Lol, where did you get that grocery store footage? Is from almacenes exito in Colombia
So.. you see Metaverse Inc. a huge success down the line?
You say Gamification, I say Mesmer, mind control, induction Into self-centered obsession with sinful sense gratification.
Well, I predicted your opinion from your profile name. Do you think Jesus would have allowed Russ1a to invade a free country, r4pe the people and t0rture the children? And where did Jesus say against normal pleasure? Stop spreading lies.
This is so scary, especially after finishing Cyberpunk
Well you might as well get ready because everything he said is and will be a reality of the future
It gets annoying when people think AR is VR
what i love about getting older is noticing how much of this is worthless.
you don't miss
Lowkey I don't really understand the problem. Is there really a problem with valuing a virtual world over the real world. Is there really a difference, if in the future there is a virtual world indistinguishable from our own where everyone can be happy and do whatever they want in said world is that really a bad thing?
We might compromise our health like locking up in a room with just VR resulting in excessive weight gain.
Reality is now just one big video game.
Man I love your content
ua-cam.com/video/Ubf9uWTmvbc/v-deo.html
ar is just going to lead to adverts streamed directly into your eyes
Yes, and if a person doesnt pay AR yt premium, then, while they are walking on the street, suddenly a popup ad appears in your AR eye contact lenses at the same time as a fast riding car comes your way. But, by a miracle we stay alive after the car accident with only the neck and head remaining so we have to spend 24/7 using AR for the rest of our lives
Nice
After hearing all the facts, I still don't understand why the heck do you play a game while driving? Or risk your life anyway possible? This is pure stupidity
LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Why are humans so addicted to technology in general
What if you played a game and didn't like it so you change the goals to justify the obsession to gain dopamine which will make you really good at that game especially if you have addiction problems be careful who you choose to play they might like the game a lot
just waiting for the day well create the world again digitally and the cycle repeats
I know we all remember Sword Art Online when it was good
nice cyberpunk reference
Terrifying! And will you see people for who they really are??!!
humans are hooked machines are learning
you make great content my man. keep it up.
I was one of those WoW nerds who tried to be the best in the PVP world for 6 years. Glad I quit 4 years ago.
Honestly. Thats terrifying
Sounds like the matrix or the Oasis.
The problem is human stupidity, not augmented reality.
Hi My Aperture
Here comes another episode of Black Mirror.
Really? Tap Pikachu on the head?? lmfao. Now that's a stretch. You'd need a device that is implanted in your body that activates the touch sensors in your hands to make you feel what you see through AR.
can't wait to watch this in 2049 on my Elon-implanted AI neural network.
😁😁😁
