Another year, another revolutionary type of reality experience. CR or Complementary Reality will become a new way to experience a computer-generated environment. According to Merehead, CR is a “design that emulates familiar materials to invoke a sense of familiarity and comfort in consumers.” It demonstrates two objects “in skeuomorphism and the other in its digital metaphor” composed together.
