TWO months ago, London-based designer Keiichi Matsuda released a short film depicting an augmented reality future called Hyper-Reality.
Filmed in Colombia, it’s a lurid conceptual video in which the real and the virtual have fused, with garish computer imagery presented as an overlay to drab shops and streets.
