Dangers of AR
The potential dangers of excessive AR use include:
- Physical danger: When users get too carried away with AR and can't distinguish what's real, it can lead to accidents.
- Mental side effects: Smartphones have already changed how we interact with others, and AR can further aggravate the already existing problems of depersonalization, depression, and other mental health issues.
- Social side effects: As AR glasses become more advanced, there is a risk of increasing social inequality. Those who can afford expensive AR technology may gain advantages like instant access to information and enhanced educational opportunities. This could widen the gap between the wealthy and those who cannot access such technology, potentially reinforcing existing social divides.
