Reality Optional

Frog Design has come up with a concept for a face mask that allows the wearer to overlay the real world with a virtual "skin" that filters out any unwelcome sights, sounds or even smells.

Putting aside the fact that tigers, muggers and open manholes are somewhat resistant to digital editing when you're up close, we'd like to respectfully point out that Zaphod Beeblebrox got there first–with predictable results.

    Beer Googles!

    Program them to re-image everyone (including yourself in the mirror) as models.
    (Get the genders right though!)

    *********
    Was there a SciFi story where Xenophobes wore re-imaging goggles when meeting Aliens?

    (Or was that the story I was going to write?)

Rules for submitting comments:

1. No profanity. I maintain the pretense that this is a family-friendly site.

2. Stay on topic. A bit of straying and off-hand commenting is okay, but hijacking the discussion is right out.

3. No ad hominem attacks. Attack the subject, not the other person on the thread and keep the discussion civil.

4. No spamming or commercial endorsements. These get deleted immediately.

Tip: Beware of putting hyperlinks in your comments–especially at the end. For some reason, Blogger interprets these as spam.

Note: Due to the recent spate of anonymous spamming, registration for comments is now required.
