Tagging physical objects with virtual data via your mobile phone will be the first step of our 21st cenutry society migrating to a brave new, mixed reality–an urban shift as dramatic as electricity, the subway or skyscrapers. And according to Near Near Future:
rixome is a network and a tool that turns mobile screens into windows that show the virtual and public dimensions of our point of view. A walker (a rixome user) can see on his/her mobile phone/PDA/laptop screen the virtual interventions that have been added to the location where s/he now stands. For example, a spoken message can be left on a given location for other "walkers" to hear through headphones whenever they pass by. The message can also be written, or it can be a 3D animation or image, a photography, a drawing, a video. Remote rixome users can also check vi�a Internet the traces left by others but s/he won’t be able to add an intervention similar to those published in situ.
