Programmable Reality Lab

A simple graphic in three sections labeled Today's Interfaces, Augmented Reality and Reconfigurable Reality, with the latter two grouped and labeled "Programmable Reality"

Today we program computers we live with.
Tomorrow we program the whole environment we live in.

The goal of Programmable Reality Lab is to make our whole living environment dynamic, interactive, and programmable. With that, we envision to transform our living space into a dynamic medium―instead of constraining ourselves into a flat rectangle screen, we envision to make our entire world a dynamic and expressive canvas, as if we are living in a computer, rather than we are living with computers. Towards this seamlessly coupled digital and physical world, we pursue both visually and physically programmable reality by exploring novel interactive technologies enabled by AR/VR, robotics, and shape-changing interfaces.
