Augmented Sociality: Enabling a Socialised Experience of Augmented Reality

该项目将探索增强现实（AR）的新的社交用途，以扩大创造力、社会关系和参与。我们试图更好地理解人们如何利用增强现实内容来创造他们自己的学习、协作和相互联系的新方式。为此，我们将研究和原型化新的工具和平台，以允许非专家创建他们自己的AR媒体。我们的目标是让所有年龄、教育程度和背景的人都能想象和创造，而不仅仅是被动地消费AR内容、服务和应用程序。我们将生成新的AR应用，一个协作创建这些应用的新平台，以及一个新的“增强社交”理论来指导AR设计。

This project will explore new socialised uses of Augmented Reality (AR) that expand creativity, social relations, and participation. We seek to better understand how AR content can be leveraged by people to create their own new ways of learning, collaborating, and relating with each other. To do so we will study and prototype new tools and platforms to allow non-experts to create their own AR media. We aim to enable people of all ages, education, and background, to imagine and create, and not just passively consume, AR contents, services, and applications. We will generate new applications of AR, a new platform to collaboratively create these applications, and a new theory of 'Augmented Sociality' to guide AR design.
