This piece is formed around two ideas:
1. If with Augmented Reality tools we are able to "place" in the real world virtual objects and universes, what would happen if we could use haptic controls to manipulate/touch the reality we see
2.How could I justify the need to hold a screen in front of me in order to get the experience I desire, to view a different kind of reality? Maybe if the haptic controls I was thinking of were attached to a screen then it would be like holding a "magical" looking glass.
Hence I recovered the "squishy button" and married it with an AR experience in order to obtain a yuxtaposition of senses: sound, touch and sight.
The final result is a transformation of the obiqutous screen, a screen that is in many ways also a mirror - due to its front camera capability-. What if we could touch said mirror and change the way it shows reality back.
