collabora/on: ReCODE space

Using Augmented Reality (AR) as a test case technology to support cross-disciplinary educa7on and its ow on eect to research and innova7on.

More than Reality: developing inter- disciplinary collabora7on

- thought is spa,al (Clark), AR is a spa,al experience, thus AR/VR may inuence cogni,on (Coyne).
-Convenience, novelty. Yet it forces the ques/on, how do these tools aect thought? -Where do you go to think? -Are they provoking thought? - Or helping us avoid thought? -In this context AR warrants serious scru/ny cogni/vely and has considerable poten/al.
