Abstract

While researchers have explored augmented reality (AR) applications for the engineering, urban planning and architecture of future cities, work around the implications of AR for civic participation has received much less attention. In this paper, we report on a study with 16 expert participants of a workshop that employed the “Sci-Fi Prototyping” methodology. Participants were asked to co-author speculative scenarios around potential AR futures. These scenarios then acted as “design fiction probes” to elicit discussions on the challenges and opportunities presented by AR for future societies. Our findings contribute a deeper understanding of the socio-technical implications of AR use in civic participation, including: (i) perceptions on how the current technological status quo is projected and reproduced in the future; (ii) how a ubiquitous AR infrastructure might affect the dichotomy between public and private space; and (iii) effects of AR in shifting perceptions of materiality.
城市小说:通过科幻原型探索未来城市中增强现实的社会技术含义
虽然研究人员已经探索了增强现实(AR)在工程、城市规划和未来城市建筑中的应用,但围绕AR对公民参与的影响的工作却很少受到关注。在本文中,我们报告了一项研究,16位专家参加了一个采用“科幻原型”方法的研讨会。参与者被要求共同撰写关于潜在AR未来的推测场景。然后,这些场景充当了“设计小说探测器”,引发了关于AR为未来社会带来的挑战和机遇的讨论。我们的研究结果有助于更深入地理解公民参与中AR使用的社会技术影响,包括:(i)对当前技术现状如何在未来预测和复制的看法;(ii)无处不在的增强现实基础设施会如何影响公共空间和私人空间的二分法;(iii)增强现实对重要性观念转变的影响。
