Everyone is over hyping this. It's a silly company that drives engagement by inserting short gifs after user actions. It has an edgy sounding name and just enough marketing buzz to scare you. This company is not around in 5 years. Good

No, that's my point. You can inspect the code running on your machine. The machine code. At what level should one expect it's user to understand the code running on one's machine? If I have you the source to my application in

The ethical and moral implications are enormous. But machine learning and AI are not going away. We must make our best effort to understand how this works, not bury our head in the sand as hostile actors use this for ill.

This is part of the iOS HIG. This chapter about AR is purely for the kinds of AR that iOS devices would be suited for. There's probably a wealth of related information for head mounted displays in something like the OpenVR/Oculus
