“It’s often stated that LSD causes hallucinations, but that’s not quite true. When a person has a hallucination, he or she believes that everything that he or she sees and feels is real. LSD changes the way people perceive the world around them, as well as what they think and feel, but people on LSD don’t see things that aren’t there. They see what’s already there in a different way, and most of the time, they’re aware that their altered perceptions are caused by the drug. There is an overall sense of happiness and euphoria. Everything is beautiful, interesting and magical. People on LSD often become very emotional and dreamlike. Large doses of may make them feel especially contemplative. They feel that their mind has burst through its normal boundaries, and they often claim to have had experiences that are spiritual or religious, with a new understanding of how the world works.” — Howstuffworks, “How LSD Works.”
Research: Augmented Reality
After the second workshop, I was inspired to find out more about the term ‘Augmented Reality’ which was mentioned by Emma Beddows.
Augmented Reality is a modern term which refers to the integration of graphics into real world environments. It often relies on projection systems projecting graphics onto physical objects, which can then be interacted with through handheld devices such as tablets or smartphones.
HowStuffWorks.com features a really cool example of augmented reality where a phone keypad is projected onto a persons hand. They can then dial a phone number without even taking the phone out of their pocket:
While attempting something like this for my final project would be a bit beyond the capabilities of the unit, I still find it a fascinating area and I can’t wait to see what the future brings for this kind of technology.
