Week 1 Continued

Other interesting phrases i learnt from this lecture involve "Augmented Reality", "Hybrid Reality" and "Mixed Reality". I will start with the definition of Reality, which means 'the world or state of things as they actually exsist. Augmented means to 'be made greater in size or value'. Hybrid means to 'a thing made up by two different elements'. Finally mixed means to 'make or prepare something by combining several elements'. Again these phrases are very similar in terms of their meanings. An example of an Augmented reality would be "Rugby fields an cricket pitches branded by their sponsors; giant logos are inserted onto the fields when viewed on television in real time". An example ofa mixed reality would be the @Eye Toy@ hardware built for the Playstation games console. This requires physical movement from the user to control or manipulate a virtual space view from the television screen.
