I'm curious if things like Google Glass or any kind of AR device will help with people like this in the future.
For example, if the store is a Dixon's.. modifying the signage before he walks in as to make him believe it's the HMV?
- jcutrell 13y agoI think this would do a bit of a disservice to the disabled person. I'd think creating a somewhat dishonest alternate or augmented reality is a recipe for disaster. (What happens when he takes the glasses off and realizes that everything he has come to know is suddenly different?) If the person can fully grasp the differences (and realizes that what they are seeing isn't reality), then I could completely be on board with that.

- CatMtKing 13y agoIf he figures it out, though.. What that must be like to live in a fictional world with reality seeping through!
