This reminds me of some dystopian science fiction film where everyone is immersed in a shiny AR layer, while reality without the layer is dirty and derelict.
Scene:
A fancy nightclub, pretty people dancing to very loud music, surreal virtual objects and effects everywhere.
Swap to reality: The music turns off. It's no longer night. An old, run-down building. Headset people in shabby clothes dancing to inaudible sounds, talking way too loudly, interacting with non-existent objects in the empty air. Everything is dusty. Beams of sunlight shining through half transparent windows. They haven't been cleaned for decades.
- crtasm 3y agoI've been to some excellent parties in buildings like that!
- aaroninsf 3y agoI've been to some of the worst parties ever like that, for sure. EDIT (since I can't reply to myself): <winks>
- js2 3y agoSure, I'm cognizant of that too: Ready Player One, The Matrix, Neuromancer. But I honestly don't think that's our most likely future dystopia. For me it's a toss up between Brazil and Idiocracy.

- astrange 3y agoThat's what the end of any good party is like already.
