What is Blind Future?
Blind Future is a Chrome extension called 'Blind Future' that brings the future of tech glasses to your web browsing experience. By attaching Magic Leap glasses to faces across the web, it gives you a glimpse into a George Orwell future, where interpreting a large part of the population's eyes becomes challenging. This digital art piece allows you to explore how the world might look and how your behavior might change in a future where tech glasses are prevalent. Privacy-conscious users can rest assured as no data leaves their computer, and all calculations are done locally. Note that the extension's code may occasionally make mistakes, but it's all part of the artistic experience. Enjoy this journey into the future with Blind Future by @evryone_XR.

Summary

Attach Magic Leap glasses to faces across the web. Using image recognition and a lot of non-scientific assumptions you get a peak into the future of tech glasses. Will the world look different? Are you acting differently when you can't see and interpret a large part of the populations eyes?

In case you have privacy concerns: No data leaves your computer. Every calculation is done locally. This is more of a digital art piece than a functional tool. I wanted to play with the future. If electronics like Magic Leap get popular, how will it look? I thought the browser could be as good a place as any to test it and travel forward in time.

Note: Sometimes my code makes mistakes. Please don't be offended :) It's just "art" or whatever. While I've focused on decent fast code it's not super optimised or maintained. If you experience bad performance or your favourite website has become unreadable because of massive glasses, I suggest uninstalling the extension again.

Thanks for trying @evryone_XR
