    The invention of using light as a ubiquitous sensing medium capable of  providing us with the experience of 'virtual reality without on-body controllers and non-invasive real-time health monitoring' is truly a paradigm shift. Are we ready for the future applications that it will bring? Together with the 'good' (preventive health, danger management, collaboration, etc.) also comes the potential for 'bad': Commercial or other invasive monitoring, without explicit permission, of individual 'truths' in response to environments, conversations, marketing, etc. As a Global Society we are at the brink of something truly astounding, with the potential to radically transform our Global Conscience in terms of Human Rights and its application in the world around us. Before we develop these technologies any further, it is time to put Privacy Laws in place that minimises its abuse.
