A team of scientists?at Cornell University is building?a robotic assistant to fabricate 3D digital designs in real time. Called the Robotic Modeling Assistant (RoMA), the system combines augmented reality (AR) with robotic modeling, allowing users to design primitive 3D models on one side of a platform while the robotic arm fabricates the object on the other. The combination of AR with fast 3D printing, makes it possible for the designer to not only receive the visual cue of their design, but also the fast, in-situ tangible feedback that otherwise couldn't be possible. www.digitaltrends.com/cool-tech/robotic-3d-printing-augmented-reality/
Italian artist Giuseppe Colarusso has the weird and wonderful gift of being able to take an everyday object and render it completely useless, so it makes you smile. http://www.giuseppecolarusso.it/improbabilita_.html

These animated characters are a preview of our immersive avatar future, an evolution of digital self-expression and communication. In the early days of the internet communities were text based. Newer entrants like Instagram and Snapchat are visual mediums and introduced face filters. The next evolution of communication will be driven by augmented reality so you can express yourself creatively.
