Why Beautification Filters are the Last Stand Before the Explosion of Body Modification Augmented Reality

How you look is controlled by your genetics, but what if it wasn’t?

Each of us is constrained by the limitations of our species in so far as the look we are capable of projecting to the outside world. Sure, you can pierce and transform aspects of your physical body but our selves as a canvas is limited by the amount of change we can make before it‘ s fatal or too harmful.

The extent to which this is true has been tested by almost every culture. Tribal copper neck rings, lip plates, ear stretchers, scarification are historical and modern examples of some of the things that have been done. Whether to signify religious ceremony, increase beauty or help you display who you are to the outside world each involves alteration of who we are physical.

We are about to embark upon body modification to an extent that was hitherto unimaginable. Technology will enable us to manipulate our appearance without limits or the risk of damage, more expression with less harm sounds like a significant leap forward.
