Social Augmented Reality - what it is and how to get it
summary
Defines poly social reality as multiplexed synchronous and asynchronous messages and calls heterogeneity (different headsets, phones, apps, cultures) the core design problem. Proposes pathway‑based, multi‑point narratives instead of single location triggers and shows working examples: the retrofitted magic bus in San Francisco that plays route‑linked video and lifts shades at stops, site‑specific sound sculptures called social blue brain in DC and Central Park, and castAR’s open projection glasses with a retro‑reflective mat that keep users socially present.
