Make that 6 more...

I posted stuff about the "Internet of Things" and "augmented reality" before, but I hadn't seen this article about it.

"Shortly after I originally wrote about this, the UK company Berg came out with an “augmented comic book” called SVK. The premise of this story was remarkably similar (SPOILER ALERT): bad guys spray invisible, nano-sized particles into the atmosphere across London. When they get enmeshed in peoples’ skin, the particles are able to broadcast that person’s thoughts. Characters wearing special AR contact lenses are then able to see the thoughts of people around them in visual form.
The particulars of this story–mind-reading and such–are fanciful, but the conceived infrastructure underlying the idea is at least plausible. Tying together trillions of invisible markers with AR eyewear capable of recognizing those markers would be a quick way to create a highly detailed, three-dimensional, interactive map of the physical world–especially if many of those data points have individual addresses in the IPv6 system.
Can it be much longer before our world starts looking a lot more like Tron‘s?"

Creepy stuff actually...but I don't mind creepy and privacy infringement stuff if it makes me rich.

However, due to APDN's secrecy, and apparent lack of revenues, if they are involved in this, and making a ton of money as a result, they sure aren't planning on sharing any of it with us markered folks.

APDN - Where'd you get those shades?
