I thought that this reading was really interesting and informing. The definition of Augmented Space is the physical space overlaid with dynamically changing information. This information is likely to be in multimedia form and it it often localized for each user. Some examples of Particular Urban Spaces are environments such as shopping and entertainment areas of Tokyo, Hong Kong, and seoul where the walls of the buildings are completely covered with electronic screens and signs; convention and trade show halls; departments stores, etc. When i read the section about video surveillance i was stunned to find out that by 2002 many taxis already had video cameras continuously recording the inside of the cab! I never knew that! I guess I’ll be more aware of this when I’m in a cap now. It also talked about how we are all “immersed” in virtual reality. I agree that when you watch a movie in a movie theatre or on a big TV monitor, or when you are playing a computer game on a game console that is connected to the TV, you are hardly aware of your physical surroundings. But when you watch the same movie or play the same game on the small display of a cell phone or PDA that fits in your hand, then the experience is different. You are still largely present in physical space, and while the display adds you our overall phenomenological experience, it does not take over.
