Augmented (hyper)Reality: Domestic Robocop from Keiichi Matsuda on Vimeo.
A view of the future living in a consumer-based augmented reality. It’s all a bit Gibsonesque – but a thoughtful video nonetheless. I was reading Mark Weiser’s original ubiquitous computing paper last week – I do wonder just how technology deterministic it has turned out to be – it set a research agenda for 20 years. The real question is does evocative visions of the future free the imagination or place limits on it?
Design in progress
We seem to using the One38 tag for our latest design collaboration around innovative student experiences. I’m working with 3 others – think hard and you might just work out the inspiration behind our name. For those interested in lovely numbers:138 when expressed as prime factors is 2×3x23 – the group are still reeling from this observation…
So, what are we up to? The grand master plan is dig deep into state of the art experiential learning environments and the so-called knowledge economy. It’s been fun so far – researching trends across business and education and linking them into community building and collaboration. If there is a phrase emerging it’s Time & Space.

Related to this video, I’m currently involved in a design project called The world is your canvas with Kevin Smith looking to explore different perspectives of the built environment. Taken a mixed-reality approach the work will explore augmentation techniques and strategies that enhance everyday experience with an alternative interpretation of space. I guess we’re really looking to take the act of creative creation into the built environment.
