Too Much (Usher using VR to save a woman)

Brief description

In this video Usher`s character (let`s call him Usher) is about to enter his car as he witnessing a kidnapping of a woman. She drops glowing AR glasses on the ground as she is being taken away. Usher tries to save her, but is too late. He finds the glasses and hesitantly puts them on. What he sees is a virtual world, but AR overlay. He is in this robot costume (which is how the DJ for this track appears in media), so in a way Usher becomes Marshmello. In this virtual reality he finds the woman he just tried to save, but has to overcome several obstacles (Getting shot, boxing match). Among other things he is warned by the AR when something classified as dangerous takes place. In the end he gets her in the car and transports her back to the real world, where the Marshmello robot fades, and Usher is there to embrace the anonymous woman he just saved. Only to discover that she is a hologram (at least in this world.)

Notes
As there was only characters in the situation I added the augmented reality as a tech. This is the overlay vision vi see that is warning for danger or informing by e.g. showing the speed of the car. Added to my classifying/classified list because among other thing the MV has ability to classify something as dangerous in this case 42% dangerous, so defining a type of situation. It is not quite clear what in the situation is classified (humans, environment, objects...) so I left it out. Linda 14.6.2021
