- To "Mash up your world" - to be creative with the world around you.

- "Collaboration": To share your view of the world and find others that will share it with you.

- To stay up to date.

- To be able to share your knowledge with others - if you have something to say you should be able to say it and be heard.

The experience

MyView is an augmented reality service that allows users to share their view of the world and information with others around them. This is done by means of: -

• An open wiki information system: view and add your own information.

• An RSS style feed service, giving you the content you want in relation to your life and world.

• A playful “Day Dreams” mode that allows people to collaboratively ‘mash-up’ the reality around them and share it.

• Increasing the impact of a message by delivering it in context with your surroundings.

• Keeping the spaces around you exciting and in flux.

• Having an impact on the spaces you occupy.
