The author also gives advice on controling flow within a design by using arrows, people or faces that look in a certain direction, and perspective. Using space to control flow is something that I found interesting the author states that "varying the space between a series of elements can be used to create rhythm and motion".

This was a wonderful brochure from USC that describes the differences in virtual reality with an augmented one. I was surprised to find this was a website for USC. This website gives a really good background on VR.

I chose to share a wikipedia article on augmented reality because it gave me a good thorough background on what it really is. I was a little confused with these terms at first. I find it is a great source to use wikipedia when I am not sure exactly what something is.
