This is sad. How many billions of $ and millions of hours go into stupid sh*t like that.. Some of you may not know but there are more pressing, more exciting and more challenging tasks that wait for manpower and resources. Wake the fuck up people!
Not everyone can work on projects that change the course of humanity. Some work is done for just shit and giggles. And who knows what kind of possibilities these humble beginnings can lead to?
There's a lot of potential in AR and I think this is a good way to introduce consumers and developers to it.
It's not about the work, it's about how much resources are dedicated to entertainment (sports, games, music) when other important fields get virtually no love.
This is just entertainment - hardly anything to get depressed about. What's so terrible about giving people a bit of joy and fun?
There is already so much entertainment in the world that even if we stopped producing it, people would still have to spend few centuries to enjoy it all.
