The audience are first invited to watch a satirical augmented reality make up tutorial, where a streamer shares how to create one of their favourite AR make up looks. They are then are invited to sit by a dresser and to look at their reflection in an AR mirror. The mirror automatically transforms them into an augmented version of themselves. To the left there is an AR make up palette, where 16 different AR looks can be activated via QR codes for the audience to try on and play with their identity.

Augmented Empathy explores a future where changing our avatar or augmented selves will be as essential as changing our clothes. It explores the seamless potential and transformative nature of augmentation into our daily lives and how this technology can be used as an empathy tool connecting to multiple selves, beyond human and otherness.
