For one night only, the Mixed Reality Challenge moved about 10 city blocks east, and 20 stories straight up to a lively Arts Technica night at CIC Boston. 

Before the event started, I placed about six augmented reality images around the event space, on the 20th floor of 50 Milk Street. 

The goal of Arts Technica was to highlight how artistic expression is incorporated into modern technology.

Guests had the opportunity to try out different tech demos and interactive exhibits and learn about arts created by modern technology.

In addition to the Mixed Reality Challenge, the demos include virtual reality, video game graphic demonstrations, art installations using ePaper technology.

BTW, you are always interested to see how other people describe the Mixed Reality Challenge. Here's what Arts Technica said: "the Mixed Reality Challenge explores Mixed Reality by inviting you to interact with a smartphone-accessible, augmented reality triggered, internet connected, gumball-style trinket and charm dispenser." 

Sounds about right.
