Berkeley's€Center for Science, Technology, Medicine & Society, (CSTMS). I developed the work, The Conversation, specifically for the conference as part of my keynote talk entitled, AR: Towards the Augmentation of a Brave New World. The talk and live presentation of the work was presented over a two day period; the first day to a smaller group of about twenty people and the next day to a larger audience of one hundred plus which was also streamed live. The smaller group I felt was more productive because it evolved into a sort of workshop with a more personal, hands on approach. And those in attendance really got a sense of the work, and their feedback was invaluable to me. With the larger audience, I was able to reach a lot more people, but because AR was a relatively new concept, it was much more difficult to get the concept across and receive critical feedback. Thanks a lot for your time and for sharing your thoughts, John. Finally, would you like to tell us readers something about your future projects? How do you see your work evolving?
Thank you once again for allowing me this time to speak about my work. As to future projects, let's just say that I am presently exploring such subjects as sleep, dreams, black holes, worm holes, parallel universes and quantum physics along with the ubiquitous intervention of mobile and cloud based technologies as points of convergence for several of my next projects. I'm looking at conversing with Astro and Quantum Physicists, Neurosurgeons, and Psychologists, as well as doing interviews with people about their sleep patterns as part of the research. Therefore, that frame I've been going on about, is definitely being pushed beyond its outer limits.
