Outer Space, Cyberspace & Digital Depth

Augmented reality adds a needed 'digital depth' to the world, allowing us to understand and operate in an environment that seems, on the surface, to be simple, but which teems with rich information. Using examples from the SpaceX Dragon Crew Capsule - and the Mercedes 2020 E Class sedan - we look at how augmented reality can pull the curtain back on the 'simplicity' of the world, giving us the tools we need to operate effectively within it.
