Look at Zenbane’s video carefully. The she-demon crawls out of the tv  in a huge office room. Cameraman turns around and runs down the hallway towards the break room and then glances back. TV that was in the center of the room at the end of the hallway is now gone. It’s a totally different room. Then he glances back at the break room. That room, too, is now totally different, haven’t become a cluttered storage room. You’ve been Punk’d!

Well obviously the whole thing is made up of multiple shots, no one is disputing that.

But you were disputing occlusion, now you are disputing the editing ..

It was made to look like a single unedited shot. Obviously a hoax.

It doesn't seem elaborate enough to be fake. The technology to make this happen has existed for at least 2 years, if not longer. For example, using Microsoft HoloLens and their open SDK could accomplish this quite easily.

Technology is at the point to where it would take just as much effort to make a fake AR video as it would take to just make the actual AR application.



Well you COULD do it for HoloLens but if she gets too close you'll chop her head and legs off lol :o :D

I’m actually surprised Apple is making a bigger deal over AR than VR, since It is actually harder to do convincing AR than VR. That’s because in VR, the developer has control over the whole environment. In AR, there are too many variables. Oh, silly me, I know why Apple is concentrating more on AR...more opportunities for lucrative product placement (McDonald’s ahead at next exit).

So you don't have proof, just your own perception of the video. That's fair enough, and your speculation is noted. I don't think many folks believe that it's a hoax. Let's wait to see if the hoax is revealed. For now, I don't see a hoax at all.

It's a recording of an AR experience through an AR device. It wasn't made to look like anything. People live stream unedited experiences all the time. You recently made a post about where you believe tech is headed over the next 2 years:

I'm actually surprised that you posted your essay about the future of tech, only to come deny something so basic considering where AR development is at today. It doesn't add up.

Not sure what that means. I have several co-workers who own the HoloLens, they haven't described any issues where things have problems when they get too close.

There's plenty of great vids about HoloLens on YouTube as well:

Most of those videos showcase things far more graphically and technically impressive than what is in this "The Ring" experience. I just like the creativity behind the Ring experience.

Yeah, in my essay I mentioned AR ... in the year 2025 -- 7 years from now. That's a lot of time for AR to advance. In this case, I would be happy to be proven wrong, but for now, I suspect vaporware.
