Xtended Reality

Enhanced Reality is an ExTenD OS interface system based on augmented reality, or AR. Instead of using specialized smartglasses to view and hear an augmented reality interface, enhanced reality makes use of the New Real itself to display ER interfaces called Widgets. ER is set to be private by default, in which case only the user who summoned the interface will be able to see it, or to public, in which case everyone - even those without any eyewear - will be able to see it.

Access to ER requires the use of Eyeware; glasses, goggles or contact lenses that mark the wearer as an ER user. The user can then interact with Enhanced Reality windows originating from their ExTenD OS user account.

While Eyeware is required to summon ER interfaces, anyone can interact with publically-viewable ER menus, including to close the menu if it's getting in the way.
