One of the things I am most excited for about augmented reality is a “live ad-blocker.”

I want to be able to hide all physical ads that I see day to day—billboards or anything else I don’t want to see.

When we finally get decent enough AR glasses, I think there will be a lot of new paradigms and social norms that arise.

There may be different “layers” that people can choose to operate on. You could live within the free-tier “base layer” and see digial advertisements, upgrade to have an ad-free digital experience, or upgrade further and have a digital ad-blocker that overlays real-world advertisements to prevent you from seeing them.

There could be many layers.

You could have private layers with friends where you can assign digital notes, presets, and styles.

There could also be some emergent social class system where you display information about yourself only to other people who are vetted and on the same “layer” as you.
