My Augmented Reality Protest

Metaverse Blocked Unblock Follow Following Dec 18, 2016

Words By Jorge Quintero

As many other users, I downloaded the app when I heard about the Halloween cash giveaway…who doesn’t love free money? I downloaded it and thought “Oh, this is like PokemonGo” but PokemonGo was over in a week. I’ve been messing around with Metaverse since Halloween, to collect MetaCoins for the next giveaway and hunt for more experiences. Even though “Francis the Ghost” played with my emotions Halloween night (Where’s my $$$ gift?!?), I love that we’re now able to create our own experiences and place them wherever we want.

I know people have different views and opinions on the President Elect and I believe I fall with the majority of people who aren’t happy or satisfied with the election results. I’m scared for our Country, I’m scared for the people who’ll be affected by this racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, Islamophobic, misogynistic man. We have a small glimmer of hope this coming Monday December 19th, when the Electoral College gets to vote in their respective State Capitol, State House, Statehouse, and Legislative Halls.

On that same day, multiple protests in every State Capitol, State House, Statehouse and Legislative Halls will take place hoping to influence each Electoral Voter.

I was hoping I would be able to go to Sacramento and join the other protesters, but unfortunately I won’t be able to join them…so, I took a different twist on things a way to try and protest…by using Augmented Reality.

I placed a Donald Trump at every State Capitol, State House, Statehouse and Legislative Hall with one of his famous quotes on Putin, “I don’t know Putin, I never met Putin. This is not my best friend.” We all know now that this isn’t quite true, Donald Trump is Putins Puppet!

I know to some this won’t look like much, and I know this might not affect the Electoral College decision, but this is my way of showing that I’m with them (I’m With Her), the protesters against a Donald Trump Presidency. I’m hoping and praying for the best, and hopefully this shows the possibilities available with Metaverse and Augmented Reality.
