A chapter in Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality, 2020, pp 139-149 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In this paper we discuss how Augmented Reality as a form of spatial computing can contribute to the concept of a “mediated city”, and tackle possible problems that we understand as conflicts between different modes of spatial perception. In reference to Spatial Sociology we assume that space includes a physical dimension as well as a social dimension and discuss a multidimensional framework to analyze AR applications. We argue that spatial computing provides a digital topography that creates new ways of understanding and orientation as well as multidimensional problems. As an example we present an immersive city tour we realized in Hamm, North Rhine-Westphalia in 2018 in collaboration with the city’s archive and the Ministry of Culture in NRW.
