Augmented reality has several concerning effects that may pose a risk of harm to users, children, and the public. The downsides of AR include:
Loss of awareness of one’s surroundings: AR may distract users from hazards in their immediate environment leading to accidents. Pokémon GO is known to have caused traffic accidents and fatalities because players of the game interacted with the AR feed rather than being alert to hazards.
Potential for trespassing:  preoccupation with AR games or directions may lead Ar users to trespass on private property.
Detachment from reality: Individuals may prefer the AR environment to the real world and become addicted to changing their surroundings to suit themselves rather than accepting reality.
Privacy concerns:  As AR uses a live camera feed, there may be issues regarding recording in public spaces.
