Lone Star Software Symposium: Austin
July 27 - 29, 2018
Theory of Reality Construction
Saturday - Jul 28 11:00 AM CDT - BLUEBONNET
Ready Player One.
Welcome to the future of Augmented Reality. All physical limitations of what can exist around you, have now been lifted. In the world of AR, we can visualize anything we can dream… so dare to dream big.
In this session, we'll break down the Matrix into a buildable software architecture model – the algorithm of Life() expressed as a probabilistic Magnet Operating System. Next, we become Software Shaman responsible for shaping the metaphors and schemas that define the Oasis… welcome to the world of Reality Construction.
You might like to believe that “objective reality” and “perception” can be decoupled from one another, but the attempt at decoupling these things, is yet another layer of perception. The entire system of sense-making is emotionally-biased to explain our feelings. Rationality is a facade on top of an emotionally-wired brain.
What if we re-engineered the Game of Life from the ground up as an Augmented Reality Video Game? What does your Oasis look like?
Welcome to the future. Let's make it fun.
