This book is not for the timid If you are ready to see the world in a radically new way -- the way someone with "super sight" would see it -- if you don't mind being shocked out of old, conventional ideas about vision, and you can handle biting humor -- read on. Each paper is written from the fictional "World of Super Sight," about the strange practices and beliefs of those who live in the fictional "Land of the Blur." A nonfiction companion story accompanies each Paper, to illustrate the point.. Here is the premise What if you woke up one day in a world where everyone had perfect sight -- including you? What would be different? When you see clearly again with your own eyes it can be an exhilarating –– and totally new –– experience. That’s because what is considered normal depends upon the perspective. People in the “Land of the Blur” believe their way of seeing is the normal one. To a person with perfect sight, the beliefs, practices and perceptions of those with imperfect sight are the ones that are strange. Which is “right?” It depends: Where do you want to live? Accepting one viewpoint locks you in the Land of the Blur. Accepting the viewpoint of perfect sight transforms your eyesight and transports you into the “World of Super Sight.” The Super Sight Papers invite you to step into the world of perfect sight, and make it your home.

NATIONAL INDIE EXCELLENCE AWARDS WINNER — NONFICTION • 2022 IPPY AWARDS BRONZE MEDALIST — SCIENCE For thousands of years, human vision has been largely unchanged by evolution. We’re about to get a software update. Today, Apple, Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Snap, Samsung, and a host of startups are racing to radically change the way we see. The building blocks are already falling into place: cloud computing and 5G networks, AI computer vision algorithms, smart glasses and VR headsets, and mixed reality games like Pokémon GO. But what’s coming next is a fundamental shift in how we experience the world and interact with each other. Over the next decade, what we see and how we see it will no longer be bound by biology. Instead, our everyday vision will be augmented with digital information to give us what spatial computing pioneer David Rose calls “SuperSight.” And as our view of the world becomes blended layers of information delivered via glasses, contact lenses, or projected light, it will fundamentally change learning, shopping, work, play, and much, much more. David provides an insider’s guide to the way our lives are about to change, while also unpacking the downsides of this coming world—what he calls the hazards of SuperSight, from equity and access issues to bubble filter problems—and proposing rational, actionable ways around them. From AI mirrors that advise us on our outfits, to museums that let us talk with deceased explorers and artists, to the ways we envision sustainable cities, the scope of augmented vision is boundless. SuperSight offers a rich speculative preview of the future and its implications, both shocking and thrilling.
