1) A Cultural Perspective on Mixed, Dual and Blended Reality

This paper is an anthropological perspective on the impact of Dual, Mixed Reality and 'PolySocial Reality' (PoSR) on Location Awareness and other applications in Smart Environments.

2) Pervasive Computing in Time and Space: The Culture and Context of 'Place' Integration

We consider some possible broad changes that may impact society as a whole as a result of widespread integration of full-spectrum deployed pervasive computing technologies. Our approach considers design challenges for successfully developing and integrating pervasive technologies into culture and society.

3) PolySocial Reality: Prospects for Extending User Capabilities Beyond Mixed, Dual and Blended Reality

We discuss ways that developers can use PolySocial Reality (PoSR) to represent a more complete complex structural model of individuals interacting within multiple environments.

4) Visualizing PolySocial Reality

We intend to use PoSR to describe and analyse principles underlying instantiations of the emergent ‘network’ comprised by the union of all individual networks, such that patterns in an overall graph representing these can be identified, node-centric projections examined, and sub-graphs compared.

5) Thing Theory: Connecting Humans to Location-Aware Smart Environments

We explore how PolySocial Reality (PoSR), a framework for representing how people, devices and communication technologies interrelate, can be applied to developing use cases within integrated IoT and Smart Environment paradigms, giving special consideration to the nature of location-aware messaging from sensors, and the resultant data collection.
