Dutch Government Taps Augmented Reality Technology to Encourage Citizens to Get Involved

The Dutch government hopes by showing citizens what they look like when they stand by and do nothing when public service workers are attacked -- which is a serious and frequent occurrence --  it will encourage them to get involved if they encounter such violence and aggression.

As a public service, an interactive billboard captures real-time bystanders on the street and splices them into a video of  a violent confrontation.  They can see a bird's eye view of what they look like when they do not get involved and offer help.

Do you think this tactic will work?
