This was addressed in the short film called Sight:

It was really well done for a small budget.
- whichdan 14y agoWow, it's almost unnerving how plausible this video is.
- bullfightonmars 14y agoWow. I didn't know what to expect, but was a little blown away by this. Watching this I experienced both an attraction and revulsion to the use of integration of technology into vision. This deep integration of vision computer interface pushes the characters deep into the uncanny valley, to the point of no longer appearing to be human, but something other than human, something different.
- faxilux 14y agoI love it, thanks for sharing. I especially enjoyed the real life fruit ninja part, if technology can be used to make mundane tasks more exciting I'm all for it.
- Erwin 14y agoI liked the dig on the perversion of gamification here. "Achievements" have become very popular in games -- you might have fully complete a game level, but there's a bonus if you use a specific weapon or not kill people or not do something odd while doing so. So sometimes people spend inordinate amount of time in games that they've already completed, doing something over and over again to gain a perfect "score". Here he cuts the cucumber imperfectly, not getting the perfect score and so he discards it. The date is also heavily scored, and the augmented reality wall seems to have plenty of other perfect achievements. He longer cares as much about the end result, but just about the achievement badge (perhaps to be flaunted to others).
- igravious 14y agoWow. That's really awesome for a short short. Very well done, feels like a possible and plausible future scenario.
- bigtones 14y agoGreat video, I was totally immersed for the 7 minutes it ran for. Very engaging and love the visuals.
