Well, we are going to have facial recognition searchs at some time. Its unavoidable.
Dosnt need fancy AR stuff, just a bit of software and flickr could do it.
Personalty, I really cant bring myself to care. “Democratic” privacy lose, where information can flow from many to many isnt nearly as scare as the “many to one” style privacy lose when just a government or a big organisation does it.
Sure, theres the argument that one day someone might look at me, and see a load of details popup by me face, and maybe some of them wont show me in the best light for that person. But as long as the same also applys to them, I think it will all even itself out.
It might be healthy for society, in fact. Maybe by not being able to hide our imperfections ourselves, we get more tolerant of others?

I can see it helping some criminal activity’s (“those people going on holidays, there homes will be empty around now….”), but also hindering them too. (“whos that guy by the checking desk looking at people funny….”).

Societys going to change massively. But I dont think it will be all that bad on the whole

” you could theoretically pull up a person’s home address through automatic whois requests”

WhoIs is supposed to be for buisness’s, technically, not home address’s.
If your running a business you -must- have a public address.
The quirk is you cant have a .com without it.

There are indeed two [critical!] deficiencies in the interactions assumed by these sorts of AR concepts (at least, as they are put forth now). I dubbed these patterns ‘The Invisible Man’ and ‘The Man behind the Curtain’ – more here http://www.uxmatters.com/mt/archives/2009/08/inside-out-interaction-design-for-augmented-reality.php – a while back. But I’ve yet to see the AR vendors talking about how to take these issues on, so it’s good to hear other voices mention them.

Perhaps they’re assuming that efforts like DataPortability will create adequate solutions?
