Hyper(reality) - Who Needs Eyes When Kinect is Around

Hyper(reality) - Who Needs Eyes When Kinect is Around

I'm not sure if this project can be catalogued as augmented reality, and if so, it is surely on the fringes of AR (since it seems to me to increase the latency between atoms and bits). Is the term alternative reality taken yet?
