Augmented Reality







Augmented City 3D from Keiichi Matsuda on Vimeo.
The architecture of the contemporary city is no longer simply
about the physical space of buildings and landscape, more and
more is about the synthetic spaces created by the digital
information that we collect, consume and organise; an immersive
interface may become as much part of the world we inhabit as
the buildings around us.


Augmented Reality os an emerging technology defined by its 
ability to overlay physical space with information. It is part
of a paradigm shift that succeeds Virtual Reality; instead of
disembodied occupatio of virtual worlds, the physical and 
virtual are seen together as a contiguous; layered and dynamic
whole. It may lead to a world where media is indistinguishable
implications for architecture, as we re-evaluate the city as 
an immersive human-computer interface.
