Contextual computing has the potential to make succinct and informative Everyday AR experiences in a Just-in-time way based on time of day, location, current, light, sound, and a myriad of other factors.

There are different ways that we could potentially interact with text in the physical world that we could select and use in a digital way. In this example we look at a couple of different selection methods for selecting a phone number and making a call.

Converting real world information into that which is more meaningful, or useful, to us is going to be a very powerful experience. Here we look a simple currency conversion scenario that could a small everyday contextual enhancement while travelling.

There is a significant opportunity for people’s experiences to be enhanced through AR-enabled accessibility. Here we extrapolate current technologies like door detection, reading signage and identifying people.

We wanted to explore how widgets might be best presented on a potential Apple headset showing a virtual screen using Stage Manager. It was a simple prototype using Magic Leap 2, but elicited lots of interesting feedback during usability testing.

The ultimate connection between digital and the physical world is controlling devices through a dynamic user interface. This prototype shows our ability to control a light and play music using an AR interface. We’ve connected them via Apple’s HomeKit and a PushCut server.
