My uncle was one clever soul. He could probably be best described as a recluse, the shy inventor type. But nearly nine years ago now he disappeared from his hometown and has never been seen since. I don’t think he’s lost, not wanting to be found is my guess and I think I know why.
Using his ingenious engineering skills he somehow created a VAARR (Very Advanced Augmented Reality Reader) It works just the same as other regular Augmented Reality apps I am led to believe but with one unique difference… It has a setting that once activated, shows unseen Augmented Reality text none of which is detected by any other device. He created two actually. One was entrusted to me. And because of this I have a story to tell.
A few years ago I wasn’t exactly a technology fanatic although admittedly I had more than a passing interest in new gadgets. But that was nearly three years ago now before I set foot within the Augmented Star. Now there is probably nothing I don’t know about the integrated software algorithms used in Augmented Reality.
Life in this newly discovered domain is a far cry from home. There’s no one thing that makes it uniquely different. It’s everything. The smell, the temperature, the noise levels, the beings, everything is entirely unfamiliar when you first arrive. But once you start exploring all the hidden signs and directions it’s impossible to stop. You’re immediately plunged into its rich diverse landscapes and to find your way around or locate anything at all you must be in possession of the special device - The VAARR or Very Advanced Augmented Reality Reader. But be warned: Augmented Reality text as we know it was not developed within The Augmented Star so it makes it pretty hard to find your way out.
It’s not easy to write long paragraphs on this VAARR. My uncle made it possible to post directly online from this device. So my blog entries below are concise.

‘It’s not about gazing into the future, it’s about seeing the present through a unique lens.’ That’s the first message you see when you arrive in The Augmented Star. Every time. And you never arrive at the same place twice. I’ve come here with a strict agenda. To find my uncle.

OK it took me a couple of hours to get acquainted here this time. There’s just so much to get distracted by. From learning a new food recipe to breathtaking advertising campaigns, the Augmented Reality here really is something else. On the downside crossing the street can be something of a perilous activity. It puts things in perspective when vehicles move from 0 to 600 MPH in less time than it takes to chalk a pool cue.

Just noticed a glitch with this online forum that I would like to point out to the moderators. The first post I made earlier was date stamped Apr 12 2011 but the post I made just a couple of hours after that is stamped July 12 2011. Three months later? I think not!

It’s funny because since I’ve been wandering the streets here the last few hours I’ve regretted never going to Cambridge University. Although I feel like I have been. It appears there is nothing you can’t learn here by waving the VAARR around. The whole place is an encyclopedia of knowledge. They promote learning a Science degree in Artificial Intelligence can be completed in three months here. Knowledge is fluidly brought to astonishing life everywhere by Augmented Reality.
I just learned that a thimbleful of a neutron star would weigh over 100 million tons. Must be something in the air here as my clothes are becoming dirty and ragged really quickly. I feel I’m ready for that science degree now!

The risk of being struck by a falling meteorite for a human is one occurrence every 9300 years. Wow that’s a curious fact. I wonder what the odds are for walking into an Augmented Universe like this one.
I saw an advert on a billboard for an automobile just now. Using my VAARR triggered a full Augmented Reality breakdown of its features from performance figures to finance options and then it invited you to take a virtual test drive in a car simulation game. The AR campaigns here really resonate with customers in a way that most other ad platforms fall miserably short.

Turns out my VAARR is a pretty valuable commodity here. It can read over 150 types of Augmented Reality text and other types too that alternative devices can’t. After an exhausting and bloody battle earlier today, I have learned some creatures here would even kill to own one.

Just received some news that was pretty hard to comprehend. I've met a lot of people here within The Augmented Star and most of them know my uncle but apparently he’s on the run from some bad people.
Someone is coming. I’ve gotta move quickly. It feels like I’m on the run myself.
I’ve come to realize now that I may never be able to leave the Augmented Star.
