PRIVACY LOST (2023) - IMDB

 

Whether you call it Augmented Reality, Mixed Reality, or Spatial Computing, our lives will soon become a seamless merger of the real and virtual. Enabled by AI-powered glasses, this technology could make our world a magical place where almost anything is possible.

​

Unfortunately, this magical future comes with great risks. Unless regulated, these wearable devices will track our behaviors & monitor our emotions like never before. This will threaten our privacy and leave us vulnerable to AI-driven manipulation throughout our daily lives. 

 

Privacy Lost is an award-winning short film about our augmented future and the risks headed our way. Developed with support from Minderoo Pictures, Responsible Metaverse Alliance, and the XR Guild, it aims to educate policymakers about the dangers. The film was written by Louis Rosenberg, a researcher who developed the first mixed reality system at Air Force Research Laboratory over 30 years ago and who is now a vocal advocate for regulation
