The Programmer and the Widow: Exploring the Effects of Total Immersion in Augmented Realities
Yu Huang, Wu Hsuan-Yi · Ambient intelligence and smart environments · 2013
In this Science Fiction Prototype (SFP) we explore the world where augmented realities are realised through bionic lens. People live in the virtual and physical complex where total immersion brings possibilities beyond living and death. However the somewhat immortality of life does not create happiness but emotional tangle to real human beings, especially when it comes to the sense of ‘touch’. Besides from the effects, some business innovation is seen in the SFP. For example, the protagonist in this story plays an important role in the future as holographic projection programmer, which represents a new booming job in this futuristic world. They are given the power and skills to create fascinating scenarios and objects for demanders based on their requirements as if they are ‘the one’ to design and build the world.
