Hardware evolution
• Moore's Law: Hardware - 2^34 = 4294967296
Software Regression
• Proebsting's Law: Software - Compiler Advances Double Computing
Power Every 18 Years - 3 times
• Computing horsepower increases at roughly 60%/year, compiler
optimizations contribute only 4%

What is Augmented Reality?
An attempt of a definition
A note on methodical order
•Conversation is the root of

•Narratives convert tacit
knowledge to explicit
knowledge.
No, all embodied 

experience!
Just language?
Narrate| Experience
information sharing
sense making
