Fighting For Privacy With Art and Words

Posted by timothy on from the your-biodentic-equivalent-of-papers-please dept.

HomeSkillet writes contributes this link to an interesting NYT feature on the recent works of privacy activist, wearables pioneer and artist Steve Mann. Mann has been mentioned here a few times before, but in light of current moves to scan, monitor and track your every move by subtle and unsubtle means, it's never been more relevant. Can anyone suggest a non-registration source for this story?

    I worked in this guy's lab for a year.

    Most of the stuff that you are reading about is embellished beyond belief...

    His "reality mediator" stuff is just motion tracking (and makes some pretty rigid assumption such as no parallax), all the sequences you see are post processed video (doesn't work in real time)...
