An augmented reality view on mirror world content, with Image Space

We present a prototype mobile augmented reality client addition to the ¿Image Space¿ mixed reality media sharing service. We have explored how the real world aligned "mirror world" content from that service can be interacted with in-situ and identified two different use scenarios - geospatial media sharing and social connection. Since both the existing web based mirror world modality and the additional mobile augmented reality modality intersect at the common data, the combined service is as an example of how mirror worlds can be used to bridge the real and the virtual, and allow for interaction from either side of the reality continuum.
