That's some chaotic good shit
Now someone needs to make AR glasses with the sole purpose to detect and blur out ads
More likely that technology will be used to overlay targeted ads
Then, invariably, they put out a update that just puts in their own ads
Is this before or after they beam them directly into our dreams? I could really use a pair of lightspeed briefs...
Adblock+/brave browser glasses
Fuck chrome, Firefox with ublock origin
Agreed, FOSS ftw
Preach it, I'll always take Foss options if they're available.

This is called "being blind".
Those Braille reader screens will start injecting ads.
And these dumb fuck advertisers will advertise something like car insurance on there.
I always get these spam letters in the mail about how I am preapproved for car insurance. Like I don’t even have a drivers license, so their approval process is clearly not very thorough.
It's like when someone tells me something is unbreakable. It becomes my mission to come up with a way of breaking it.
It's like the Titanic, it was doomed the moment someone called it unsinkable. No self-respecting universe would let that slide.
Fun fact: The "unsinkable" actually came from its sister Olympic, after it came out relatively unscathed from a collision with the Hawke (Wikipedia link)
Fun fact: Between the 3 ships of the class, Olympic was the only that survived to retirement. Britannic was sunk by a mine in WWI after less than a year in service.
I remember someone got into such a billboard and replaced the ad with IKEA-style instructions on how to replace the ads in those billboards.
Ooh I've also seen that, it was surprisingly interesting to watch
Really ? got a link ? I wonder if the instructions work in any country (I assume the billboards are built differently)
Oh my god that's Melbourne! I know that bus stop!!
Does anyone know the original ad?
No matter how clever you think you are, there is always someone more clever.
I used to think AR was a niche thing for business and kinda dumb for every day use but then I thought: You'd be able to block ads. Graffiti. Garbage. Just filter the world into a cartoon if you want. Now I fucking wish I had some AR device so I can literally live inside a fantasy world, if only visually. So instead of seeing a filthy bum puking his guts out onto the garbage cluttered sidewalk as he leans against a filthy encrusted brick wall, tagged with vile shit I'll instead see a unicorn projecting a rainbow against the backdrop of a magical grove.
That sounds an awful lot like Pyro from TF2
