The following is a synthesis of a trend forecasting project I did with guidance from one of my instructors. What started out as a look at how CMF might change in response to VR morphed into an analysis of how we will use digital spaces in response to the turbulence and turmoil of 2020.
The Surreality AR Experience
Inspired by graffiti and massive social art projects like r/place, the Surreality app invites users to color the world as they see fit. As users walk around and touch objects around them, the AR app fills those objects with color, inviting them to make a digital mark by interacting with the physical world. Other users’ creation will be viewable by everyone who uses the app, turning the built world into a massive artistic social experiment.
