Augmented reality is a technology that superimposes digital objects onto the perception of the physical environment, thereby essentially changing the experience of space, time, and causality. In this lecture, an attempt will be made to examine the impact of augmented reality on perception in the context of Don Ihde’s modes of mediation, and to draft a corresponding ontological framework of augmented reality.
