Thanks to everyone who attended Superseminar today. It was great showing you a glimpse behind the design fiction curtain and I really enjoyed the engaging and lively conversation. Can’t wait to do it again.

In 1988, the movie "They Live" presented a dystopian vision where a man discovers sunglasses that reveal the world as it truly is - controlled and manipulated by alien forces. Fast forward to this timeline, and I can't help but draw parallels as I reflect on my recent encounter with Rayban's Singularity Proof Sunglasses.

This world, much like the one in "They Live," is layered with digital augmentations. The AR billboards, holographic ads, and personalized marketing that blend into our urban landscapes are not governed by alien overlords but by corporations vying for our attention and data.

The Singularity Proof Sunglasses strip away this digital facade, revealing the raw, unenhanced world. It's a jarring experience - one that forces us to confront the extent to which AR has infiltrated our daily lives.
