GoKawiilBlog post argues consumers should avoid buying AR glasses
A commentary piece warns that augmented reality glasses risk repeating the web's descent into ads, dark patterns and gamified design, pointing to the 2016 short film 'Hyper-Reality' as a prophetic warning. The author argues that because AR glasses are designed to be worn constantly, unlike phones, they will eventually be overrun by the same attention-economy tactics that degraded websites and apps. The piece concludes that consumers have no real incentive to adopt AR devices and should simply not buy one.
