Augmented Reality in simple terms means ‘Modified Reality’.
‘Pokemon GO’ is recent example of it where information about the environment and its objects (read ‘Pikachu’ here) is overlaid on the real world.
It is changing the perception about what is real and presenting it in some different/enhanced way. More about it here.
But recently i have had very interesting observation of the same pattern of ‘modified reality’ on social media. FaceBook to be specific.
Every day i see one of my very recent contact person adding exiting photos of one’s self and friends within few hours of day.
Each day that specific one is at different place with cool outfits and with few very cool people giving ‘Look at me’ pause.
Who doesn’t want to live such an happening life? cool isn’t it?
But how many times we have seen people giving great pause for photos(Selfie anyone?)
and then moving on to do their so called ‘Boring’ work?
And when you are presented with the images, all you can think is
Why they should have all the fun… 🙂
It is correctly said that
Truth has 3 sides.
- Your side.
- Their side.
- The TRUTH.
It is just ‘that particular moment’ captured in certain way – intentionally – can really generate the whole perception around it.
Is it good or bad, right or wrong is also a perception.
It varies time to time. Person to person.
At closing will give you a free (and not required) advise.
Whenever you feel jealous, depressed, … and so on by seeing some really cool ‘Updates’ on FaceBook.. don’t forget its Augmented.. if its not yours 😉
Ahh just kidding… Augmented or not enjoy the scenes…
