Digital-physical hybrid design: Enhancing real worlds with Augmented reality

The paper discusses how we need to design our daily environments that various computing facilities are embodied. These computer-enhanced environments become more and more virtual, and may lose the reality. Therefore, it is important to take into account how to recover the reality of the virtualized real world. If not, a user may not be able to find the right semantics of the environments, and lose how he or she behaves in the environments. We believe that the discussion is very important to discuss the design of future cyber-physical systems.
