The document discusses augmented reality and context awareness. It defines augmented reality as mixing real world and virtual objects to create a mixed reality. It explores ideas around augmented reality including simulations, virtual worlds, augmented virtuality, and using devices like Kinect. The document suggests augmented reality can provide freedom and redefine experiences through ambient, self, and event awareness. It examines interacting with augmented reality through devices, sensors, and virtual information overlay.
