SIGHT: Augmented reality explained to the core!!


How about when everything you see is fused with digital technology..Well this doesn't seems new with the introduction of augmented reality glasses by Google. But what if, instead of the glass that u wear, it is embedded in you head!! This is exactly what is explained in the short film "SIGHT", by  two students, Eran May-raz and Daniel Lazo, at the Bezalel Academy of Arts in Israel. The short film, which demonstrates the extremities of augmented reality and Google glass, was done as a graduation project. 

The film is about a man who had a very bad luck with his date, yet another augmented glass implanted young lady. Everything, from dating to cutting vegetables is digitized and really gamified. You get apps for anything and everything. the film moves through a date, where u get to see a "Wingman" which is a very advanced application which uses all the latest technologies including face recognition and speech recognition etc etc to understand the date's emotional status and her likes, dislikes and everything u need to know!! It even checks the progress of your date and tracks you progress level from bronze to silver to gold and so on.  It "gamifies" each and every activity of yours and rate them by giving you rewards and medals. 
This short film is really a peep into the near future of technology and virtual reality. Things are really creepy and terrifying.
