What Ethical Issues Will Arise From the Introduction of Augmented Reality Contact Lenses? Sam Fowler
The Technology • Contact lenses with two new features[2]: • Built in camera • Projection screen • Provides: • Image and video capture • Augmented reality • Succeed HWD’s in the next 10 years[1]: • More accurate • Lighter • More power efficient • Easily concealed
Ethical Issues • Privacy • Social paranoia • Unsuspecting appearance in images • To instigate, prevent and solve crime • Evidence • Blackmail • Security • Who can create and use images and what for? • Augmented Reality seemingly without hardware
Scenario • Bynum’s Case • Crime • Used to instigate and solve crime • Examples: • Images used to blackmail • Evidence used in a murder investigation
