Week One.
- What did you accomplish last week?
This week, I participated in CHI 2024 in beautiful Hawaii. I was part of a workshop titled “With or Without Permission: Site-Specific Augmented Reality for Social Justice” that aims to facilitate the design, development, and use of place-based Augmented Reality experiences supporting Social Justice efforts.
“Movements for social change are often tied a particular locale. This makes augmented reality (AR), which changes how people perceive their surroundings, a promising technology for social justice. Site-specific AR empowers activists to re-tell the story of a place, with or without permission of its owner. “
In this group of experts, who use the permissionless nature of AR to express social justice, I introduced my idea of autonomous realities to the discussion to assess the need for protocolizing their expression.
- What do you plan to do next week?
I intend to conduct a literature review, create a prototype, and prepare a workshop agenda. These steps will help me find a venture to discuss permissionless realities and FingerSync. However, one might question the necessity of these actions.
- What (if anything) is blocking your progress?
We need to reach out more experts in this domain.
- Fun insight/tidbit, link, or idea?

My random thoughts after discussing with the human-computer interaction community.
"Protocol is a standardized “interaction”.
