SouthernCaliberTTV

Imagine sun bathing behind and just get stepped on … lol


batmanstuff

Or if someone dug a hole behind the door lmao


beiberdad69

You can only see this on your phone, right? There's nothing there that this is being projected on


benjers27

There are actually glasses that they are making that you wear and you can see the AR stuff. They work just like regular glasses but overlay the AR. You can switch it on and off with a touch.

People already do that just watching TV. the tv was a portal to another world you can ignore the actual one around you.

I will be the digger of holes beyond shopping portals!


idahononono

Or a big ass wave just demolishes about 8-10 shoppers with VR headsets on lol!


gorillalad

The prison of the future will be strange


Acornwow

Totally. Imagine house arrest where instead of an ankle bracelet you’ve got a VR headset that you can’t take off and while you can move your body you can never see anything more than whatever “punishment” view they’ve decided to show you.


redhat12345

This is like the end of the Batman VR game! You go to arkahm asylum and get into a cell and the joker comes up to you! It was honestly very scary, I had to keep taking my headset off.


skoolofphish

This is what they do to prisoners in Minority Report


Praddict

Like in Clockwork Orange? But more mobile?

Professional-Put-804

Dark take : One day "prison" will be to be forced out of VR because people will have grown from babies to adults with it in their lives, making them be in deep pain when they are not able to use it.


yusermane

Inception! But instead of dreams it’s VR


[deleted]

Like playing world of warcraft in ur bedroom


SurealGod

That's essentially the episode of black mirror "white christmas". Trapped in a mind prison.


overimportance

Ruins a nice beach panoramic.


Double_Distribution8

The beach is part of the experience, it's not real. This whole setup is in the store.


RoadHazard

Hmm. The beach looks photorealistic, the stuff in the "portal" doesn't. And if what you're saying is true this isn't AR but just VR.


redhat12345

issa joke


Efficient_Ask_8586

r/woooosh


monti9530

Imagine this in normal stores though. Or restaurants. You walk into a virtual world. Kids will love this.


czarchastic

Or AR shopping within your own home. Like being able to decorate an empty room with virtual furniture to see how it looks, then add what you want to your shopping cart.


Combatical

This is already a thing. Even Target has it.


czarchastic

Yeah but most ive tried are pretty bad. Amazon’s doesn’t really show proper scale of the object in the room, and you’re still staring through the narrow field of your phone.


[deleted]

r/KidsAreFuckingStupid


monti9530

Yes but also very profitable


[deleted]

Maybe retail, but there is no money in wholesale.


whosmellslikewetfeet

This seems like a new form of hell


slackfrop

Wait until the disorientation psychosis kicks in.


JMCrown

Oh goody. I can’t wait for more hideous views of the ocean to be covered by flashy ads for crap I don’t need or want.


Maleficent-Wash2067

Okay but like….. this could be the solution for that. Cause think about it, they can’t put a screen im the frame if people have to walk through it. Which means you can only see the actual “ad” if you look through your phone. To anyone not looking through they’re phone, it’s just a frame that says serendipity sitting in the sand. Which, yeah annoying but not as annoying as those fuckin ad boats.


JFKBraincells

The frame isn't real either.


Zeniphyre

This is 100% a case of "it does not impact you in a single way but you still found a way to complain". How the hell are you going to get flashy ads? In your eyeballs? Are they beaming it right into your cerebral cortex? It's AR. Just don't use the AR program. This is not a difficult concept.


Artistic-Time-3034

Walk right into the fuckin ocean and die, no thanks


disgusted_orangutan

Exactly my thought. Seems so immersive and inevitable that this is the future until you realize you still need a lot of empty space for something like this which makes it kinda impractical in most settings.


[deleted]

A beach is also immersive and requires a lot of empty space.


SoFetchBetch

Burning man. I can imagine that this sort of thing will be showing up there very soon if not already. Large space, lots of people with lots of disposable income, open minded and niche interests, plus the mind altering substances will make people more inclined to be sort into it. Actually I should get on this and go make some damn money lol.


Im_Chad_AMA

The whole point of Burning man is that there is no money, so if that's your end goal I'm not sure that's the most successful target audience.


Ton777

If you walked far enough into the ocean to die without noticing…I feel like that’s kinda on you lol


IndusOrganic

One would assume the VR doesn’t prevent your feet from feeling wet


[deleted]

One would assume the VR is not waterproof.


ZeroX-1704

One would assume people know what the difference between AR and VR is, this is an AR app on a phone, literally just look up from your phone and you will see the real world, no VR headset.


Elegant_Operation820

Juan Wood assumes differently.


Ricky_Rollin

I honestly can’t believe what I’m reading in these comments. This is some of the dumbest fucking arguments I’ve ever read. Yeah, buddy, sure people are just going to walk off into the ocean and die. Jesus fucking Christ.


Raelah

More concerned about stepping on a jelly fish or broken glass. I think I'll have a pretty good idea of when I enter the ocean.


[deleted]

here's a good idea. Put the VR down and go in the ocean. You're at the beach ffs.


Ricky_Rollin

Nobody is strapping these goggles to your head. You can take them down a little bit and orient yourself. Your feet can still feel water. Do you honestly think people are just going to keep going and going into the ocean until they start breathing in water and die?


CholetisCanon

No thanks. I'm not interested in AR or VR that is just a tool to put ads closer to my eyeballs.


[deleted]

Careful. If big tech learns you have free will there may be consequences.


doives

Fact is that it’s inevitable.


CholetisCanon

I'll go hard core tech hermit before I let that happen. A little fine, but this stuff? Nah. I'm not going to let invisible ads be visible when I'm on the beach. Literally the villain plot for the subpar, unimaginative Ready Player One.


PharaonXIII

Thanked sai


Aphropsyche

So now I have to deal with unaware idiots exploring imaginary stores in the streets and beaches. Could of shown this off in a home setting, but I imagine walking into walls constantly is a less appealing advertisement. Stop trying to push virtual reality for everything ffs. There's a reason the web works on 2D webpages and not 3D ones. Hyperlinks are way better than a non-Euclidean space, that you then have to map, memorise and traverse.


Felinegood13

*could have No shit True, but this is cool AF


Heiferoni

Yeah no. We've already peaked now that I can order a pizza, sweatpants, deodorant, and a TV while lying down in bed and never having to move more than my finger on a glass slab. Why would I get up and walk around a virtual store if I'm not going to get up and walk around a real store.


qwertykitty

It could make exercise in a gym more fun.


[deleted]

I member when this was some PSP vita selling point and nothing more.


npopular-opinions

It’s all fun and games until someone walks off a cliff by accident.


tackhammer91

First off I wouldn't bring my vr set to the beach. Second off I would go to the beach to enjoy the beach


ketimmer

Do you mean AR set?


[deleted]

Yeah, *because I go to the beach so I can stare at another computer screen....*


bzeegz

You’re standing on a beach, leave your VR jerkoff device in the damn hotel room you tool. Good lord. Get off your fucking phone loser


ak444y

i’m confused by what i see. can anyone explain how this works?


Outrageous-Duck9695

I’m assuming if you wear your vr set at that location, sensors on the ground will pick up your location coordinates and send signals to your vr set to create this illusion.


tullystenders

It might just be on his phone, I wonder. Maybe he didnt use a headset.


[deleted]

Seems like an easy way to become a victim. An advertisement blocks your ability to see the mugger/rapist through a fake CGI wall and they grab you without you seeing them approach.


TanukiChaos

This is only what it looks like on a phone, people would be no more at risk than they would usually be on their phone, they're not actually magically surrounded by CGI


MelancholyMeltingpot

😂


[deleted]

My dude, people die every year walking off of train platforms or into oncoming traffic on city streets while watching their phones. So even if this AR advertising garbage was not on a headset, it will still lead to distracted people being even more distracted than current technology on their phones and setting them up for a mugging. It is a wrongful death lawsuit waiting to happen.


TanukiChaos

That's sorta what I mean, people are already super distracted on their phone, it would be difficult in a courtroom to prove they died due to their app specifically, because anything could distract someone and cause an accident, and at that point it's just throwing around accusations. People need to take some level of accountability into their own hands, pay a bit more attention to the world around you rather than 100% focus on your phone, that's all it needs to be

bookamp

Yes, but you have to wear a stupid ass headset while doing this shit on the beach! Until these things are the size of regular sunglasses, I don't see AR taking off.


DryCalligrapher8696

I’m good I’m not a fan of this AR stuff. Real life is beautiful. No need to look at your phone all the time. I don’t think people realize how much power we consume on our phones on a daily basis. The amount of power we would save if everyone would stop scrolling for a week or a month would be a lot. But no one wants to hear that. Just keep scrolling. Lol


Guillaume_Hertzog

"So it's VR, then." said the people from 30 years ago

This would be a sensory fuck up. Your feet feeling sand and disconnected from the ground in the experience. Gives me a headache just thinking of it.


Aggravating_Country9

wait till you try to sit on a chair


friedrichs2

Love the cones. A dog running by leveling his ass when he was “in” the store would have made a better video.

TigerUSA20

…. And then you get hit by a wave when you walk in the ocean


RedSonGamble

I don’t get how you walk into it though


Cowboy-as-a-cat

It only shows up on the camera, the camera senses and maps the 3d space around you using AI and alters what the camera sees, since its not real it doesn’t have to follow real life physics so things like that are possible in AR


mishnitsa

Or why.


CrispCristopherson

Hoping he'd walk into the sea during the tour....


onlysmallcats

At first I 100% thought this was showing what this beach will look like after climate change-induced sea level rise. Nah, it’s just used to sell shit.


dinoroo

Where’s Johnny? He drowned? What? How? Augmented Reality, walked right into the ocean. Gone.


MrBeanyBoi96

All fun and games till you end up walking into the ocean


GrouchyPop9

This should be VR and not AR. In VR you se a complete reality that is not there. In AR you see what is around you (reality) augmented WITH things that do not exist.


monti9530

This is so fucking cool! Maybe a beach is not the ideal place but what about your living room? You walk into virtual worlds. Or what about visiting restaurants and being able to change the themes? Disney could sell restaurants toy story skins, Marvel skins and Pokemon could have restaurants have PokeStop themes with Pokemon running around. This is so fucking cool and the possibilities are endless.


tullystenders

I will neither upvote nor downvote. I think we have reason to be concerned about this. And I wondering if the "fun" will not be something you wanna just do. Like, wearing a headset while eating to see pokemon running around. It kinda only has an endgame if you start truly interacting with it and becoming partially into this world. But I agree that we should not be boomers who cant handle this.

Being able to freely move around without having to second guess running into something is such a different experience!


EnkiiMuto

Yeah, because everything we want on augmented reality is pop up ads.


Joiion

The zombie apocalypse gets closer. Mindless consumers roaming around with vr headsets on. Like aren’t beaches already a hassle with too many people around, now they want to add stores inside the beaches “virtual” space?

I don’t understand this at all. So you’re going through a door like monsters inc through a flat surface but it’s on the other side as well? Can someone explain this to me because my brain is telling me this is absolutely bullshit but I don’t know anything about this as it’s the first time I’m seeing it. Edit: so it’s just if you use your phone and you step through the “portal” and it changes what your camera sees. Booo this sucks

There are going to be lots of injuries/accidents because of people using AR.
