'''HverVision''', formally known as the '''Hverlandic Comprehensive Vision System''', is a deeply integrated technology that has been adopted universally within the Nordic nation of Hverland. Designed as an augmented reality system, HverVision combines the use of ocular implants and mobile devices to create a pervasive, communal digital space where citizens record, rate, and share their daily interactions.
'''HverVision''' is an initiative launched by the [[Government of Hverland]], aimed at transforming the nation into a more digital society less reliant on paper and analog. First proposed in 2022 by the {{HV-VP}}, the plan has received wide backing from coalition partners the {{HV-CP}} and the {{HV-CN}}, as well as gaining the support of {{HV-GR}} and the {{HV-AL}}. HverVision is overseen by the Digitalization Agency of the [[Office for Infrastructure and Industry (Hverland)| Office for Infrastructure and Industry]].


== Overview ==
==Overview==
HverVision was initiated in 2022 following a [[2022 Hverlandic HverVision referendum|nationwide referendum]], cementing its integration into every facet of Hverlandic society. The technology utilizes sophisticated implants in the user's eyes and is linked to personal mobile devices, creating a seamless blend of physical reality and digital interface.

The ocular implants are responsible for recording the individual's day-to-day activities and interactions, while the mobile device is used primarily for interface and control, allowing the user to review, rate, and share their experiences. Interactions are rated on a scale of one to five stars, with each rating contributing to an individual's cumulative Social Interaction Score (SIS).
HverVision is a detailed strategy to digitize all sectors of Hverlandic society. It involves the digitization of all existing government paper records, including medical files, scientific documents, and historical archives. The goal is to improve accessibility and enhance data preservation. The initiative also includes the creation of a digital public services portal, a digital mailbox for every citizen, and the promotion of digital literacy and infrastructure.


== Social Interaction Score ==
The types of paper records included in this project are:
The Social Interaction Score (SIS) is a unique societal element of Hverland, directly tied to the HverVision system. The SIS operates on a social credit system, where citizens can gain or lose points based on the ratings of their interactions by others.


SIS directly influences a citizen's socioeconomic status. High ratings can open up new opportunities, such as preferential treatment in job applications, access to exclusive social events, and discounts on various goods and services. Conversely, lower ratings can result in social penalties, affecting employment, housing, and even interpersonal relationships.
* All health- and dental-related documents such as patient histories, immunization records, lab reports, radiology images, prescriptions, and hospital admission records.
*Academic records including student enrollment data, transcripts, report cards, and diplomas.
*Government archives like census data, land registries, birth, death, and marriage certificates, as well as records of local, regional, and national governmental actions, decisions, and election results.
* Court records, wills, contracts, patent applications, and other legal documents.
*Research data, survey results, and other scientific records stored in national libraries, universities, and research institutions.
*Public financial documents such as tax filings, audit reports, budget data, and expenditure records.
*Records of cultural and historical significance including manuscripts, newspapers, photos, maps, audio recordings, and films stored in museums, libraries, and other cultural institutions.
* Local government records including planning and zoning documents, meeting minutes, local ordinances, and municipal financial records.
* Records related to environmental studies, climate data, biodiversity surveys, geological maps, and other ecological data.


While controversial, this system has been largely accepted by Hverlandic citizens who appreciate the accountability and transparency it brings to their interactions.
All records are being digitized using high-quality scanners and optical character recognition (OCR) software to convert the scanned images into searchable text. The digital records are stored in secure, cloud-based servers with multiple backups to ensure data integrity and availability. Rich metadata is being added to each record to facilitate search and retrieval via the digital public services portal.


== Impact on society ==
==Digital public services portal ==
HverVision has had significant societal implications in Hverland, redefining how citizens interact and influencing social norms and behaviors. A heightened sense of responsibility has been instilled in the public consciousness due to the potential impact of every interaction on one's SIS.


The system has led to improved social etiquette, decreased crime rates, and encouraged positive interpersonal interactions. However, it has also been critiqued for creating pressure to conform and for the potential for misuse and manipulation of the rating system.
The digital public services portal, one of the major components of the HverVision initiative, came online in its initial version in June 2023. Envisioned as a one-stop solution for accessing government services, the portal represents a substantial leap towards complete digitization of Hverlandic society.


HverVision's influence extends beyond personal interactions to impact commerce and politics. Businesses vie for positive ratings from customers, and politicians work diligently to maintain a high SIS, which is often perceived as a measure of public trust.
At the heart of the portal's design is the single sign-on feature, allowing Hverlandic citizens to access a myriad of government services with just one account. This feature simplifies the process of accessing government services and eliminates the need for citizens to remember multiple usernames and passwords.


=== Crime ===
The portal consolidates all necessary information about public services at one digital location. It includes details about public utilities, health services, transportation, taxation, social security, education, and other critical sectors. Information about new policy initiatives, legislative changes, and public consultations are also readily available. Moreover, the government plans to expand the range of information available on the portal in the future, making it even more comprehensive.
Since the implementation of the HverVision system, crime rates in Hverland have seen a significant decline. The system's constant surveillance and recording have served as a powerful deterrent. However, concerns have arisen regarding invasion of privacy and potential misuse of personal data. Additionally, a new form of cybercrime has emerged with criminals attempting to manipulate HverVision ratings, leading to a bolstering of the country's cybersecurity measures.


=== Healthcare ===
One of the unique aspects of the portal is its blend of AI and human support. The AI chatbot, named "HverHelper," is available 24/7 to answer queries, guide users through different services, and even process certain requests. For more complex queries or situations that require a personal touch, real human operators are available to provide assistance.
The introduction of the HverVision system has also affected access to healthcare. Hospitals and clinics now prioritize patients based on their ratings, leading to improved service for high-rated citizens. However, critics argue that this system is creating a healthcare disparity, disadvantaging those with low ratings, particularly affecting the poor and marginalized sections of society who struggle to improve their scores.


=== Education ===
In an effort to streamline public communications, the portal also replaces the nation's Single Non-Emergency Numbers (SNENs). Instead of dialing different numbers for different non-emergency services, citizens can now simply log on to the portal and access the required service. In addition to making the process more efficient, this system allows the authorities to maintain a more organized record of service requests.
In the education sector, HverVision has led to an increased focus on social skills and civic behavior, given that these factors can greatly influence ratings. Some schools have even started programs to educate students on improving their HverVision ratings. However, critics argue this focus detracts from academic learning and places undue pressure on young people.


=== Discrimination ===
==Digital mailbox ==
While the HverVision system was designed to promote a meritocratic society, critics argue that it has exacerbated existing inequalities. The system is accused of favoring the wealthier classes who often receive better ratings due to their societal status, further reinforcing economic disparities. Additionally, there are concerns that HverVision could potentially facilitate discrimination based on ratings, leading to a form of social stratification.


=== Politics ===
In an effort to further streamline communication and documentation, HverVision introduces the concept of a digital mailbox for every citizen. This virtual mailbox serves as a personal repository for all official correspondence, notifications, and documents. It facilitates seamless communication with government agencies and simplifies the management of personal records.
HverVision's impact on Hverlandic politics has been substantial. Politicians with high ratings are seen as more trustworthy, influencing election outcomes. This has incentivized politicians to focus on improving their public image and ratings. However, it has also led to accusations of populist tactics and rating manipulation.


== Privacy and legal issues ==
==Digitization of society==
The use of HverVision has raised significant concerns related to privacy and personal freedom, leading to a series of legal debates and the implementation of strict data protection laws in Hverland. Legislation governs what interactions can be recorded and shared, and the system incorporates robust encryption to prevent unauthorized access to personal data.


Despite these precautions, debates surrounding the ethical implications of HverVision and the SIS system continue. The international community closely watches Hverland's social experiment, awaiting to see its long-term societal implications.
HverVision goes beyond administrative procedures and document management. It envisions a future where digital technology pervades every aspect of daily life in Hverland. This includes initiatives to promote digital literacy, the integration of digital solutions in education, health care, and public transport, as well as efforts to enhance the country's digital infrastructure.


=== The Unimplanted ===
==Reception and impact==
A small segment of the population, estimated to be around 3% of Hverland's population, has refused to receive the HverVision implant, becoming known as "the Unimplanted". As a result, they are barred from government assistance and most social services. While some manage to sustain themselves through informal economies or support from sympathizers, they face significant hardships and social ostracization. The Unimplanted have become a symbol of resistance against HverVision, arguing for their right to privacy and freedom from the pervasive influence of the system.


== Future development ==
The Visionary Party's initiative, HverVision, is an ambitious but practical project that has resonated with many constituents in Hverland. Its potential for improving efficiency, accessibility, and sustainability across multiple sectors has earned it broad-based support. As the plan moves forward, Hverland is poised to become one of the world's leading digital societies, paving the way for similar initiatives in other countries.
HverVision and the associated SIS are continually evolving, with enhancements aimed at reducing potential misuse and improving overall user experience. Hverland's government and tech companies are working together to introduce features like 'privacy modes' and more refined rating systems to offer citizens greater control over their digital interactions.


As Hverland continues to adapt and refine this unprecedented social experiment, the world watches with interest, noting the potential for similar systems in other nations.
