[ISEA2010] Paper: Andrea Sosa & Laura Maiori – The Bit Expansion: Origin of Augmentation Operations in Mixed Realities

Abstract

In the context of the Mixed Realities (MR) paradigm (half atoms, half bits), mixture is related to augmentation operations that bring new dimensions into our experience, a whole that cannot be thought of as a purely physical or purely virtual environment. Is it possible to conceive augmentation as arising only from the mixture between the physical and the virtual? Or are other factors necessary for augmentation to happen and for experience to be perceived as a unified whole?
