Augmented (Hyper) Reality



Curious about the relationship between Augmented Reality and Virtual Worlds? Imagine having a fully interactive relationship with your world. Imagine a virtual world overlaying your physical world helping you understand the objects in the physical world so you can better interact with them. Imagine interviewing someone from another country and being able to see a universal virtual marker on them conveying a critical cultural message. One of the reasons DIP is so excited about Augmented Reality and virtual worlds is their predictive ability: An allusion of things to come. The above video, referred to us by our collaborator Ryan Chapman is a fun exploration of how the virtual might overlay and enhance the physical in the not-so-distant future.
