AR will spark the next big tech platform — call it Mirrorworld<\/strong> <\/a> — from\u00a0wired.com by Kevin Kelly<\/p>\n

Excerpt:<\/em><\/p>\n

It is already under construction. Deep in the research labs of tech companies around the world, scientists and engineers are racing to construct virtual places that overlay actual places. Crucially, these emerging digital landscapes will feel real; they\u2019ll exhibit what landscape architects call place\u00adness. The Street View images in Google Maps are just facades, flat images hinged together. But in the mirrorworld, a virtual building will have volume, a virtual chair will exhibit chairness, and a virtual street will have layers of textures, gaps, and intrusions that all convey a sense of \u201cstreet.\u201d<\/p>\n

The mirrorworld\u2014a term first popularized by Yale computer scientist David Gelernter\u2014will reflect not just what something looks like but its context, meaning, and function. We will interact with it, manipulate it, and experience it like we do the real world.<\/p>\n
