https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJI8tNG1rbQ
All of our digital interactions can
become synchronized into a
continuous and ambient digital
experience that preserves our
experience across traditional
boundaries of devices, time and
space. The experience blends
physical, virtual and electronic
environments, and uses real-
time contextual information as
the ambient environment
changes or as the user moves
from one place to another.
