Augmented Reality

A phenomenon where a space on Earth is joined with a space in the Digital Web. The inside of a warehouse may be joined with a space of the same size somewhere in the Digital Web. Sleepers will see and experience the AR space on Earth as normal. Mages with the right equipment exist in both of the joined spaces simultaneously. Their body is subject to what is in the physical world while they can see and interact with objects in the joined space in the Digital Web. Mages can accrue Paradox from both spaces so they should be careful.

Virtual reality equipment can allow Sleepers to see AROs in an Augmented Reality space. This can make many AROs and Effects coincidental.

A space in the Digital Web can have multiple sectors. AROs can be set to exist in all sectors or only one. A Virtual Adept and a NWO agent can be in the same space but see different AROs because each faction has created AROs in their own sector with restricted access.

ARO - Augmented Reality Object. Most are simple text, images or coded procedures. More advanced AROs can have artificial intelligence. AROs can be connected to objects in the physical world which makes them disappear when the physical object is destroyed. They can have GPS coordinates. Changing the GPS coordinates would make an ARO vanish from Los Angeles and appear in London, for example. AROs can be set to disappear after a set amount of time. They can be password protected.
