Historical Re-Creation & Augmented Reality

“What’s wrong?”

“Oh, I didn’t get enough sleep last night. My neighbors, you know?”

“What was it this time, the Battle of Little Bighorn?”

“No, the Lincoln Assassination.”

Pervasive augmented reality would in effect allow you to perceptually experience alternate locales in time-space. You could go or be anywhere, within certain technology restrictions: most of them paradigmatic and aesthetic.

    Also have in mind that you can create as many palaces as you want, and that they can be as simple or as elaborate as you wish to make them. Each of them is a “memory bank”, ready to be used to help you memorize anything, anytime.

    Associating physical locations with mental concepts is the most powerful memory combination I know. Most other memory techniques (supposedly more sophisticated than the Memory Palace) are, at least in part, based on the concept of physical locations being used as memory pegs.

    They talk about creating “memory pegs”

    Dominic O’Brien, a world memory champion, uses hundreds, if not thousands, of locations in his MemoryPalaces, which he calls Journeys. He doesn’t just use locations; He uses short journeys through locations, that he mentally travels. Each location is a stage that he mentally enacts a scene which links to what he wants to remember.

    Mentally linking that with astral travel and metatheatrics
