The Future of Reality: The question our lab at NYU is asking is "How might people in the future communicate with each other in every day life, as computation and display technologies continue to develop, to the point where computer-mediated interfaces are so ubiquitous and intuitive as to be imperceptible?" To address this, we are doing sensor fusion between GearVR and motion tracking technologies. Participants walk freely around and untethered by any wires, in physical space, interacting with other people and physical objects, just as they do in everyday life. Yet everything those participants see is computer-mediated, thereby allowing them to share any reality they wish, simulating the experience of future high resolution contact lenses.
