The 2008 Technology Horizons fall event, Blended Reality: Reports from the Digital/Physical Future, immersed attendees in a new blended world, a place where people weave together digital and physical environments as they go about their daily lives.
Attendees interacted with researchers developing some of the leading edge applications, people on the forefront of evolving new social practices in the blended world, and IFTF researchers who shared foresights based on their recent ethnographic research; they also met a young woman who streams every moment of her life to an online interactive audience and a researcher who documents his life 24/7. The event also featured the North American premier of Global Lives, a unique video project that embodies what IFTF has termed "bottom-up ethnography."
The Blended Reality conference took place November 18-19 in San Francisco, CA.
