At the NYU Media Research Lab, our research asks the question: In the future, as everyone can see in a computer enhanced way, how will those enhanced sensory capabilities provide new ways for people to communicate with each other?  On March 25 we will be demonstrating our Holojam project.  Participants wearing light-weight untethered VR headsets, tracked via Motion Capture, walk around within a shared alternate reality, see each other as avatars, and draw in the air together. Physical and virtual objects are intermixed. This research was also demonstrated at SIGGRAPH 2015: http://mrl.nyu.edu/holojam
