Is this real life? Or is this just fantasy? Pokemon Go has already taken over and in the near future it will be commonplace to create and interact freely with holograms that blend into the rest of our surroundings. Unlike the entirely simulated vistas in virtual reality, the developments in augmented reality and mixed reality allow the physical world to become interactive and digitally manipulable. While AR is augmenting virtual objects into the real world, MR allows us to navigate our existing landscape using virtual objects, enhancing the environment with digital content. This panel will focus on where augmented and mixed realities will takes us and how these new ways of seeing will revolutionise the way we work and play, heightening creativity and making the imaginary become real. • Mark Atkin • Keiichi Matsuda • Tanya Laird • Trevor Jones
