Reality Design Lab (https://reality.design) is an interdisciplinary research and design lab that examines the intersection of speculative design, spatial computing, and programmable cryptography. Led by researcher and designer Botao Amber Hu (https://botao.hu), the lab prioritizes developing inter-bodily embodied interactions within co-located mixed reality. It also explores the use of blockchain as a substrate for artificial life.
Art + Paper: Our working philosophy is centered on the creation of inspiring artwork or tools that generate art as our primary research outputs. We then document our methodology through academic papers, which we publish and showcase at conferences and venues such as CHI, CHI PLAY, SIGGRAPH, UbiComp, UIST, DIS, and ALIFE.
'Arduino' of MR: The lab is also the inventor and primary maintainer of HoloKit, an open-source mixed reality headset and software toolkit (similar to the 'Arduino' community for Mixed Reality). This is aimed at making mixed reality design education more accessible.In line with this objective, Botao Amber Hu, with the support of the Reality Design Lab, serves as a guest lecturer at the China Academy of Art, teaching "Mixed Reality Design".
