Mixed Reality

What's interesting about this framework is that it encompasses both real and virtual elements and so allows the possibility of generating and analyzing environments in which the physical and digital worlds cohabit and interact in real-time.

This combination may certainly involve overlaying real and virtual environments, but may also involve other spatial relationships, such as making them adjacent so that participants can look or even pass from one state to another. A more rhizomatic model would allow for these worlds to be overlaid or juxtaposed rather than opposed to one another.

Computers will become invisible and will be part of us in some way. They are already interconnected in a ubiquitous network. By these days people use computers unconsciously to accomplish everyday tasks.

Mixed reality adopts hybrid forms that combine the real and the virtual world.
