 The project called "mixed reality" started by exploring a number of technologies to do with augmented reality (AR), artificial intelligence (AI) and internet of things (IoT) in relation to contemporary art. Through speculation with technology, physical augmented reality (PAR) and its parallel to relational architecture was formally singled out and defined, AI based image analysis was used to encourage participation in the context of interactive art and a formal cloud based serverless microservice oriented software architecture along with all its artifacts and software were defined and implemented. The outcome was an interactive art installation that involved image analysis (e.g. age, gender) and emotion recognition in order to provide an effortless interaction by the interlocutors with the system through IoT based multi-colour light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and text projection.
