For instance, right now While looking at the display on my cell phone it actually shows the name of the shopping mall where i'm sitting and typing out this reply. This already put my cell phone at this time at this location. So the cellular company knows that my cell phone (and me) was at that particular location and and what time. Furthermore, the IP address allocated to my device also in a way contributes to my location, as does the web-browser referer. Does that mean I would object to this? Similarly, with regards to AR, applications make use of GPS, the digital compass and accelerometer in the device to overlay basic Ar info such as places to eat, ATM machines etc. Granted I have not delved deep enough to know whether apps such as wikitude and Layar and Junaio, are actually making any back door connections (if any) to servers and recording any more info, that what a cell phone and Ip address assigned to your device already is. If they are, I would switch to another AR app. Meanwhile there is a whole other use of AR. Something to think about is applications like FourSquare, where people voluntarily make their locations known!
