Augmented reality and the metaverse will "change the sense of reality" by removing boundaries in people's minds.

Modern technologies are shifting towards virtual and augmented reality, creating space for the metaverse. Skeptics are negative about this trend and believe that the metaverse may lead to the end of the reality known to people. As the inventor of the first augmented reality system, Louis Rosenberg, suggests the metaverse can be much worse than social media.

Augmented reality and the metaverse seek to present content in its most natural form, thereby “changing the sense of reality,” removing boundaries in people's minds and distorting the interpretation of everyday experience.

“Personally, it scares me. Augmented reality will fundamentally change all aspects of society, and not necessarily for the better, ”explained Rosenberg in an article on the Big Think platform.

According to the expert, social networks manipulate reality by filtering the content displayed to users. People are increasingly dependent on corporations to provide and maintain countless technological levels between people and their daily lives.

As Rosenberg believes, augmented reality will become such an integral part of life that people will not be able to simply take off their augmented reality glasses and cope with real problems. Removing glasses means that a person will be at a social, economic and intellectual disadvantage. Rosenberg urges everyone to be careful, as augmented reality can be easily used to split society and sow discord among people.
