“A mobile experience can be characterized as an intersection point in everyday life that is mediated through a device such as a PDA or a cell phone. This intersection is where real and virtual realities collide and become an experience. We make business decisions and exchange stories with friends over cellular infrastructures. Most of us are communicating in public spaces like walking through a mall or on the street. In some cases the mediated presence (talking on the cell phone) is the stand in for our real attendance. We are becoming skilled performers at weaving together the hybridization of real and virtual realities. These new conditions are changing the way we interact as humans and the design of tangible interfaces. Incorporating elements of performance as a design tool is a start to define the theoretical framework for modelling this new world.”
