CityXR: A Vision For Augmented Cities In The Shadow Of Hyper-Reality
Designer and filmmaker Keiichi Matsuda's 2016 concept film, Hyper-Reality, depicted a future where physical and virtual realities merge in an augmented reality city. The film's dystopian vision is still relevant in discussions about emerging VR and AR technologies. Matsuda's work has been influential in the development of these technologies, and he has worked with companies like Leap Motion and Microsoft. Recently, Tokyo-based start-up Psychic VR presented a project called CityXR, which draws inspiration from Hyper-Reality but veers towards its negative aspects. CityXR envisions augmented cities with immersive experiences, including spatial entertainment and augmented layers in real-world spaces. The company's core technology, Styly, serves as the foundation for its projects. Although the CityXR vision depends on widespread adoption of VR and AR devices, recent investments in Psychic suggest support for their vision.
