What if the city would be interactive in the sense of the emerging augmented reality technology? Not that the city is not interactive, but if one would be able to control many aspects of the environment constantly and from every location? Not that we are not in control of our lives, but just that there is more that we are aware of.
This time its in HD and 3D - put your glasses on!

Augmented City 3D from Keiichi Matsuda on Vimeo.

This is a great clip and goes in line with the previous one Keiichi Matsuda produced at the Bartlett School of Architecture for his thesis.
I very much like the sequence with all the adds and stuff crowding the footpath and swirling away like dry leaves. In the intro scene I guess the possibilities are portrait best. One of the protagonists is waking up, starting the day, changing some options and as the camera zooms out we see he is already in this cafe place. Reminds me very much of those zoom/re-zoom books
