AR Design Principles: Creating Immersive Experiences (Adobe MAX 2021)

We’re currently witnessing the birth of a new medium. That doesn’t happen every day. Typically, when a new medium emerges, it spends its fledgling days emulating old mediums. For example, when cinema came around, it copied many aspects of theater. Shots were wide and straight-ahead, as though filmed on a stage with a proscenium. It wasn’t until much later that cinema discovered it had no proscenium. Film could do unique things, like jump cuts and close-ups (the elements and techniques that cinema is now best known for.) We’re at a similar crux in the evolution of augmented reality. We don’t know what AR is capable of or how best to use it. The only way this medium is going to come into its own, is if lots of artists make lots of art with it.
