Dark Future Demo

A series of AR demos done in Oculus Passthrough.

This is part of the prototypes for a speculative project called "Dark Future” that reflects on how “augmentation” can be uncanny in the future of working and advertising, by creating an interactive experience set in a speculative future where after an extended period of quarantine and lockdown, artificial intelligence has taken total control of humanity, and defies free will by putting people in individual cells to work and watch advertisements that are produced based on the algorithms’ interpretation of the pre-lockdown period.  In this world, the concepts of “work” and “advertisement” are completely deconstructed, and only remained because of the inertia of what they were like previously what we refer to as augmentations are mostly achieved with technological advancements such as algorithms, would it produce unintended or negative consequences?
