How might we build virtual cultural spaces that are tangibly and narratively linked to physical spaces and locations?
Initial Collaborator: Ashley Burbano

The overarching theme of this project was about intelligence in environments and how it might be represented. We decided to focus on smart home intelligence and came up with the question: How might we make smart home experiences more engaging through emotive products?

Beamer would work through a users AR Glasses, and would connect with the users existing smart home products. They would be able to select pre-built identities for each smart home product which would then respond to the user given different situations.
