After reading this interesting article, I realized that even though I never heard of  “augmented space,” I have experienced such spaces before. For example, the video displays and scrolling text in Times Square in New York, and the computerized water installation in Las Vegas both combine human-made space and computer technology to create an aesthetic and cultural experience. As technology keeps improving, artists and architects will always find a way to integrate that technology to the architectural space and create interaction with people in giving and taking information. A good example would have to be from my last blog, Camelle Utterback’s interactive installation “Abundance,” which transforms an architectural space. This art installation is a good example of combining digital technology and architecture since it records the data of people’s movement and transforms the data into animated shapes and patterns and projects them on the surface of the City Hall in San Jose.  When the author talks about augmented space, he talks mainly about the combination of physical space and information technology. I think that the human user of the space also plays a very important part in the creation of augmented space. Video surveillance and different sensors collect data from the human user, but the user also directly creates data by sending text and cell-phone messages. The author mentions the electronic screens in the sci fi movie “Minority Report.” Some of the ads on these screens are personalized virtual ads that are created after sensors identify people by scanning their retinas. In this example, humans directly play a part in creating the augmented space. The movie may not be real, but it is a fantasy of how augmented space can work.
