Thirty years ago Mark Weiser called it Ubiquitous Computing. Almost 20 years ago Nicholas Negroponte and Hiroshi Ishii were calling it Tangible Bits and World as Interface. Ten years ago Adam Greenberg termed the idea Everyware. Embodied Virtuality, Augmented Reality...we've given it many names and been talking about the idea for a while now.
The line between physical and digital experiences is rapidly blurring, but somehow we're still as stuck to our screens and the safe separation they seem to provide between these realities as ever. IMMERSION is about embracing a more fluid relationship between the two.
For TODO2017 we're partnering with CRUEL to celebrate the launch of CURRENTFORM.ca with an interactive manifesto in words and objects and a peek into ways local designers, thinkers and makers are shaping future interactions beyond the screen.
