![]() Reality: A group of wealthy landowners and a few financial titans get together and draft a document that allows them to keep their wealth out of the hands of the British Crown – and keep their slavesĪugmentation: Our “Founding Fathers” compromise on an inspired document that ensures life liberty and the pursuit of happiness for all.įurther augmentation: In order to maintain said life liberty and happiness, we must assert our power and will across the world and constantly feed the military industrial complex. You could do this with just about anything. What other examples do you see of Joseph Smith “augmenting religion”? Lastly and probably most famously, he took Masonic rituals that had medieval origins (reality) and augmented them with a story of them being divinely revealed and required by God for Exaltation. ![]() Now that this is some first rate augmented reality! Taylor, John, “History of Joseph Smith”, Times and Seasons, 6: 1076 He was killed in battle, by the arrow found among his ribs, during the last great struggle of the Lammanites and Nephites. The curse was taken from him, or at least in part one of his thigh bones was broken, by a stone flung from a sling while in battle years before his death. He was a warrior and chieftain under the great prophet Omandagus, who was known from the hill Cumorah, or Eastern sea, to the Rocky Mountains. Was a white Lamanite, a large thick set man, and a man of God. When the Zion’s Camp group found some bones (reality), Joseph augmented it with the story that the bones belonged to a Nephite from Book of Mormon times named Zelph, and he: Joseph took this and augmented it with a religious aspect, making it a commandment from God and creating an augmented reality. For example, the bases for the Word Of Wisdom is based in 19th-century reality, with the temperance movement in full force, and the 1829 New England Medical Review with an article saying drinks should be taken at body temperature. Not completely real, but not complete virtual either. A little bit of reality augmented by the virtual world. Joseph Smith is often accused of taking things from his environment and repurposing them for religious use. These pictures would appear next to each painting with a short biography. A simple example would be wearing glasses that, as you walked through a museum, would superimposed pictures of the artist on your glasses. The glasses you wear let in the real world but augments it with other information. Now on to AR, which is a cross between your real world and a completely virtual world. ![]() From my limited expectance of VR, it is so convincing that I became nauseous from a VR rollercoaster game I played with just a headset on. The current VR systems are a headset that completely blocks out the real world, and you experience a world complete detached from reality. ![]() Virtual Reality (VR) is a world that is completely made up (virtual). That is your real world - what you see, hear, and feel, with or without technological enchantments. For a very simplistic explanation of what AR is, lets start with reality. Last week, to much fanfare, Apple released a new augmented reality (AR) headset called Apple Vision Pro. Trigger Warning: lots of nerd stuff to follow ![]()
