A look at the major US metropolises reveals that advertising in real life is becoming more and more digital, because we are also increasingly using LCD screens. According to a US study by market researcher Nielsen, an average adult looks at a screen for ten hours a day, and the New York Times even speaks of eleven hours. A new start-up now wants to offer a kind of ad blocker in real life: IRL Glasses ("In Real Life").
Start up founder Ivan Cash and his partner have developed glasses through which you can no longer see the displays that are switched on. The glasses block LCD or LED screens according to their own information by means of horizontal polarization. This makes it look like the display has been turned off when it isn't. The inventors of polarizing glasses have one Crowdfunding campaign on Kickstarter initiated and have long since achieved the financing goal.
I think we often don't really get the continuous display fire out there anymore. I'm definitely looking forward to the effect. And yes, it's a little bit like John Carpenter's «They Live».
Not too long ago, phones were attached to the wall, TVs weighed as much as refrigerators and computers rivaled minivans in size. Then everything changed. The world has seen an explosion of screens all vying for our attention (Americans spend 11 hours a day looking at screens, NY Times 2018), making it harder and harder to have uninterrupted experiences and genuine human connections.
IRL Glasses put you in the driver's seat to control when and how you engage with screens

More for you:
"Dravens Tales from the Crypt" has been enchanting for over 15 years with a tasteless mixture of humor, serious journalism - for current events and unbalanced reporting in the press politics - and zombies, garnished with lots of art, entertainment and punk rock. Draven has turned his hobby into a popular brand that cannot be classified.
My blog was never designed to spread news, let alone get political, but with current affairs I just can't help but capture information here that is otherwise censored on all other channels. I am aware that the design page may not seem "serious" to many in this regard, but I will not change this to please the "mainstream". Anyone who is open to non-state-compliant information sees the content and not the packaging. I've tried enough to provide people with information over the last 2 years, but quickly noticed that it never matters how it's "packaged", but what the other person's attitude towards it is. I don't want to put honey on anyone's mouth to meet expectations in any way, so I'll keep this design because hopefully at some point I'll be able to stop making these political statements, because it's not my goal to go on like this forever 
I leave it up to everyone how they deal with it. However, you are welcome to simply copy and distribute the content, my blog has always been under the WTFPL license.
It's hard for me to describe what I'm actually doing here, DravensTales has become a culture blog, music blog, shock blog, tech blog, horror blog, fun blog, a blog about found items on the internet, internet bizarre, trash blog, art blog, water heater, zeitgeist blog over the years , Scrap blog and grab bag blog called. Everything that is right ... - and yet not. The main focus of the blog is contemporary art, in the broadest sense of the word.
