Ar Taboo -

| Source | Explanation | Example | |--------|-------------|---------| | | AR can capture/display real-world data intrusively | Pointing an AR camera at a stranger and instantly showing their name, salary, or medical info | | Grief & death rituals | Interacting with the dead via AR violates sacred mourning practices | Forcing an AR avatar of a deceased child onto a grieving parent | | Consent & autonomy | Altering someone’s perceived reality without their permission | AR graffiti on a person’s face during a live conversation | | Social hierarchy | AR that disrespects authority or tradition | Overlaying mocking captions on a religious leader during a ceremony |

Thus, an action that is merely rude in VR (e.g., teabagging a corpse) becomes taboo in AR if done over a real person’s grave. What is taboo in one culture may be acceptable in another. Examples: ar taboo
