Washington Square News raises concerns over AR Activism at the Occupy movement....

I'm writing a chapter for a book on AR and Activism and found this article I was interviewed for during the occupy movement. Although we disagree, I think the author brings up many important points which I am addressing in my chapter.

creatAR makes augmented reality incredibly easy and accessible to the general public. For far too long augmented reality creation has only been accessible to people with computer graphic and programing backgrounds. The creatAR app lets users create any content of their choosing at a specific location. It’s viewable with a smartphone or tablet.. The user simply asks for something and it appears in front of them. The user can edit, animate and delete the content from a user friendly interface. creatAR places the user’s request [say a cat] at a geo specific location by triangulating the users position with three or more satellites. The cat can only be seen with smartphone or tablet at the specific location it was created. Other users all share the same world and can also see and edit the cat. Users can delete, scale, rotate, translate, animate and upload their own content anywhere with creatAR. The user’s request searches the creatAR database of 3d and 2d content which is made up of thousands of objects which are created by other users. If the request matches an object in the database it is created at the user’s location. If the user’s request does not find a match in the database the app internet searches the internet and grabs the matching content. The requested object is then created in front of the user at a specific GPS location. The object will remain at this location for all users of the app to see unless it is edited or deleted by a user. One of creatAR’s most powerful functions lets users upload their own images and models anywhere with ease. It’s as easy as attaching a file to an email. Once the file has been uploaded the user can create their content wherever they choose.

The Anti- "The Innocence of Islam" Video Petition

The Anti- "The Innocence of Islam" Video Petition 

We, the people of the world of all faiths, and in good conscience, DO NOT approve of the video "The Innocence of Islam," and those who created it. We believe all peoples have an inherent right to practice their faith in peace. We feel that "The Innocence of Islam" is the product of the divisive forces of hatred and ignorance, and does not reflect the opinion of the majority of people in the world, who practice their religious traditions in the spirit of peace, love, and mutual understanding. We apologize, as citizens of an enlightened humanity, for the offense committed by this movie, and extend our hands in peace and understanding. Whether or not the makers apologize, we will.

The names collected will be viewed  as a list of names on this website, in the Middle East and world-wide with the aid of augmented reality [AR]. The AR petition will not be placed near the protests. Instead they will be placed in the "safest" public location possible. 

This project was organized by Mark Skwarek, Patrick Lichty, Alan Sondheim, and Wafa Bourkhis. It is a work in progress and we look forward to feedback. The goal of the project is to create a voice for those in the global community who denounce the "Innocence of Islam" Video.  The petition will be viewed online at this website and around the world with augmented reality. We look forward to your feedback.
