Answer one: "while looking at a McDonalds menu board" I am "looking at the McDonalds menu board", so no, I don't see anything else.
Answer two:
> That depends. Is this[0] covering my view, being used by my daughter?
> Am I comparing prices on the internet? Should McDonald's care, or have control over what happens inside my smartphone, or what I can see?
> Am I spoofing my (smartphone) location to pretend I am in fact inside a burguer king, and indeed seeing the Augmented Reality Giant Whooper they have, because I enjoy playing their minigames, but prefer to eat at McDonalds?

- spdustin 10y agoForgive me for taking this to an uncomfortable extreme of a hypothetical: As a parent, would you seek to prevent an AR app from allowing overlays of an artificially created model of a beaten and bruised child over your child's body when a user looks at them? As a spouse, would you seek to prevent an AR app from allowing overlays of a pornographic representation of their body when a user looks at them? As a homeowner, would you seek to prevent an AR app from allowing overlays of "#blacklivesdontmatter" from appearing as graffiti when a user looks at your home?
- ominous 10y agoNo problem, I enjoy hypotheticals. As a parent, spouse or homeowner, I wouldn't. I would like it to stop, in the same way I would like that guy downstairs to be nice to me. But I will just postpone as long as I can to interact with people that use said AR app as lens for the world. Because the problem is not the overlays. The problem is when people use the overlays / AR app as a truth finder. And I don't care much for those kinds of people, neither does anyone I care about.
