Keep letting us know how we can help! December is a time for lights and shows and delightful illusions, so we thought this issue would be a good place to explore the revolution kicked off by augmented and mixed reality. Incorporating realistic virtual sets and digitally originated content into a live video feed is becoming available to just about everyone. Live productions, like the opening ceremony for this year’s League Of Legends championship, are blowing audiences away by adding lifelike animated characters in a real-time multi-camera environment. Pokemon Go has made AR a household word, but the processing power each of us carries in our back pocket is about to unleash a whole new level of data and graphical interaction to our everyday lives, whether it’s seeing how Ikea furnishings might look in our living room, or how our street looked in the year 1775. In this issue we also take a look at one of the fastest growing sectors in online video – houses of worship. We visit churches in Korea and the UK that are using digital tools to bring in supporters, and we visit an innovative TV station on the grounds of the Jamia Mosque in Nairobi that is becoming a major Islamic broadcaster for the continent of Africa.
