In his May 30, 2002 SEGD presentation, Feiner showed his most recent work using mobile augmented reality systems (MARS) to supplement real-world experience of actual places with information-rich overlays of labels, signage, wayfinding, and interpretation. As a computer scientist, Feiner challenged designers in the audience to engage these new technologies and help him and his fellow researchers extend the technical capabilities into useful design solutions. More information about Feiner's work may be found on Columbia University's Computer Graphics and User Interfaces Laboratory website.
