Pathway NavigationPolynesian Navigation = no pre-determined route todestination, only have a series of things that will changethat are relative to Vaka as it moves.No common reference point for VakaNavigating by series of unfolding events that Vakamakes happen in some way.Vaka has to take action for events to occur.

AR + Social + SensorsPeople need to be social for survival and to function aspeople.Can’t function as a person if not connected to others.Social Media is social in the network, and notnecessarily social in “Grounded Reality”There are Multiples and Multiples of Social MediaServices

Rapidly Compounding Realities

PolySocial Reality (PoSR) PoSR describes the aggregate of mulitiplexed simultaneous asynchronous, individuated data creations PoSR is a condition, with both Positive and Negative aspects: Postive = Allows people to expand networks and connections Negative = Fragmentation, Multiplexing

AR + Social + SensorsWays to Defragment PoSR?GAMES - with multiple player componentsPROJECTION - that allows/enables AR w/o goggles

AR + Social + Sensors!AR in the Environment, not only in single devices More Social, less dependent on Individual Devices (Sociality is difﬁcult if AR is only in devices being carried by you and others around you.)Sensors don’t necessarily need private information totrigger events in environment. (May just need to know an entity is nearby.)

Why Sensors are UsefulThey can create an Active Intelligent AREnvironment(Environment knows what it is--what it needs to knowis what’s going on around it.)Ofﬂoads task from person (and network) ontoenvironment.
