  1. Cenários Cíbridos: Átimos calmos em comunicação ubíqua e móvel por conexões transparentes

    This essay discusses the emergence of lifestyles under the paradigm of urban life, based on the results of research on interface design for mobile connections in ubiquitous computing with pervasive and sentient interfaces, which generate cybrid (cyber+hybrid) scenarios for co-located beings that act in physical and digital space. Artistic creation using software art writes programs and uses hardware that convey a sense of presence and action, with digital collage adding information about the physical scene. The digital material is pasted in layers onto the physical space, redesigning places, reconfiguring actions, and mixing realities in a cybrid manner. In other words, locative and mobile interfaces reconfigure the sense of presence by blending in the digital material that adds information to locations. Computers mix into the periphery through transparent interfaces, enabling enactions and affordances in quotidian actions in calm connections with transparent interfaces.

  2. Augmented Reality

    Augmented reality y (AR) is the term for a constellation of digital technologies that enable users to display and interact with digital information integrated into their immediate physical environment. AR is the technological counterpart of virtual reality (VR), which until recently was much better known, though not necessarily widely used (see virtual realit y). In the late 1960s and early 1970s, the digital graphics pioneer Ivan Sutherland developed the first head-worn computer displays permitting the user to see computer graphics overlaid on their visual field. fi Although Sutherland’s displays constituted the beginning of both AR and VR, interest in VR eclipsed that of AR in the following decades, as display and tracking technologies were being developed. Work on AR was revived in the 1990s by Steve Feiner, together with his graduate students Blair MacIntyre and Doree Seligmann at Columbia University, as well as at other universities and research centers. (The term augmented reality y itself was possibly coined in 1990 by a researcher at the Boeing Company.) AR and VR are often classed as examples of mixed reality (MR) on a spectrum described by Paul Milgram in 1994.
