Augmented City

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 it 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.” (Keiichi Matsuda)

This video shows a fascinating insight of how technologies will ever further shape our environment and every day life. It demonstrates how we could be able to change a scene and environment to our own personal preferences. I can imagine with the use of this technology way finding within a landscape and built up area will become even easier with big pre fixed post-it notes following use around town reminding use of routes and shopping lists. I have to admit its an amazing thought being able to change a space that we aren't enjoying with just a click of a button but its also a little scary that reality might be able to change in this way in the future.
