First thought... canopies, entire communities with public spaces covered with walkways, pools, parks, all under tent-like construction. Garages fully connected to houses, parking garages with interior building access preferred.
Do we have disruptive tech for larger public areas like parks, beaches, etc? Vapor or EM or even air curtain-like heat shimmer generators, anything that obscures line of sight...
Or maybe the next wave of disruption is cheap anti-sat missiles and mid-altitude AAA. Nasty future that, a half step toward Skynet scenarios.
Yuck.
I get the draw of an "Eagle Eye" type capability but too easily it turns into Project Insight and it's Hail Hydra time.

It won't matter because of all the cameras under the canvas. Cell phones will continue to track every person's location in real time. You can try to hide from the satellites and drones, but you can bet that your every movement will still be tracked somehow.
- mirimir 7y agoYeah, privacy in meatspace is a lost cause. Cameras everywhere. Around us. Carried by us. Overhead. Plus DNA sampling. Total surveillance. Even so, here in my office, there are no cameras. And only heavily draped windows. And no audio, for anything that's private. And so it's only my online activity that can be at all private. What a strange world.

I’m reminded of The Diamond Age, where nanomachines form barely-visible curtains to keep other nanomachines out. A dome of them could work as a two-way mirror of sorts, letting insiders look out but blocking things from looking in.
