AR/MR Unbound: Call for Exploratory Videos

It is conventional wisdom that Augmented and Mixed Reality have the potential to reshape how we interact with the world in profound ways. But how? The design of current AR and MR applications is limited by a technological framework still in its infancy, and speculation on future developments is constrained by the foreseeable future as well.

This call for videos solicits explorations of, speculations about, and meditations on the experience of AR and MR in a future unbound from the fetters of our current technologies.
