This is probably one of the best mentions of this topic I’ve seen in quite a while. It’s obvious that your knowledge of the subject is deep and this made for a very interesting read.

@Geoff. Respectively, I think you are completely off with your private property view point. The AR googles, the AR data and the AR service are not the property of the home owner, and the existance of these AR entities do in no way modify the property or restrict anyone from seeing it using their own eyes.

For comparisson: If I make a Google map that places a marker on your home, should I ask your permission? Of course not.

One of my biggest concerns is private property rights. I do not believe a corporation should be allowed to place an AR sign on my property without my permission, review and just compensation. The same thing goes for public property (right-of-way, waterways, parks, etc.) without compensation and approval from our governments (Lord knows they could use the revenue). I do not want to stifle this industry, but I do not believe private enterprises should be completely untethered from the requirements of full disclosure, decency and just compensation. I see virtual billboards cluttering AR without some involvement by our government. I like the selective category idea. If I choose to see advertisements, I would go to that category. If I choose directional help, I would go to that. We need a simple set of standards and we need them soon.

Hi Phil, unfortunately, due to work pressures, I wasn’t able to attend the AR eComm event, but I’m glad you put forward this vision. I tried to point in this direction in my talk at the first eComm event in 2008, but you have done a great job fleshing it out and pulling together many of the current activities in this area.

I recently came across the ARdevmob group, who are working on an open community developed AR stack amongst other things. There is a meet up later this month that might be interesting.
