Super clever project, but goddamn does this need feel so dystopian.
Work 8 hours
Sleep 8 hours
Play 8 hoursOld-school dystopias were a fucking dream compared to the modern world I guess.

So, through my lifetime that "Work 8 hours" somehow evolved into:
Leave for work at 7am.
Show up for work by 8am.
Get an hour for lunch, unpaid.
Leave work at 5pm.
Get home approximately 6pm, if you don't stop to buy groceries or something.I suppose commuting and lunch are supposed to be part of those "8 hours of play"?

Seems to me pointless, biggest one being, if this was developed in a working manner, and was used... advertisers would mix between going more subtle, or more obnoxious. Just like on the web.
IE subway stations could put say a code you need to get into the subway in the middle of an advertisement. IE the real life equivelant of "you must disable your adblocker to continue".

If there’s a real world screen showing a real world ad to you, you’ve got to be really careful not to lean against the screen with a broken spark plug or some other sort of ceramic shard, because you could easily shatter the screen and make it really hard for you and other people to be advertised to

Enjoyed the article but augh that sticky banner at the top that follows as I scroll took up 30% of my reading space. Gave up halfway through to enable reader mode on Firefox mobile...

If you can superimpose a blocker over real-world ads, you can superimpose ads onto plain walls too
