Situated Simulations Between Virtual Reality and Mobile Augmented Reality: Designing a Narrative Space

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
Handbook of Augmented Reality

Abstract

Theory, terminology and reality often interact in complex and complicated relationships, particularly in disciplines where the material base is evolving rapidly, such as in ICT-related domains. As a consequence, the nomenclature of research in digital design and development is often confusing and contested – the field of Augmented Reality is no exception. This is confirmed by an recent episode from everyday life of Academia.
