Sounds like a cool concept but it’s no different from playing a horror game on a game console. And on top of that, only one audience in the crowd participates, which leaves the rest hanging and strapped in for the ride. Not quite sure how I’d feel knowing someone else is controlling my movie experience.

For a life-size Fairtrade chocolate head.

Why hasn’t anyone made an AR game out of this yet?

After two decades online, I’m perplexed. It’s not that I haven’t had a gas of a good time on the Internet. I’ve met great people and even caught a hacker or two. But today, I’m uneasy about this most trendy and oversold community. Visionaries see a future of telecommuting workers, interactive libraries and multimedia classrooms. They speak of electronic town meetings and virtual communities. Commerce and business will shift from offices and malls to networks and modems. And the freedom of digital networks will make government more democratic. Baloney.
