PechaKucha Night, now in over 700 cities, was devised in Tokyo in February 2003 as an event for young designers to meet, network, and show their work in public.
We're back to the "City Focus" this week, and we're highlight one of our newer series. The city of Bergen had its Vol. 2 this past Friday as part of our Global Night 2015, but you can already take a look at the presentations from its Vol. 1.
We highlighted Global Night posters last week, and you'll fine more on our PKN Poster Tumblr. We're also blown away by some of the fantastic examples that have been done outside of Global Night of late, like this one from Ubud.
What a night! This past Friday we had our latest Global Night and we're just now starting to recover. From all the PKNs around the world, to the close to 20-hour online Hangout with city organizers, it was a night to remember.

Augmented Reality (AR) is typically defined as a layering of digital information over the physical world as experienced through a smartphone, tablet, or digital eyewear. AR is quickly advancing into a new phase of contextually rich personalized experiences that combine sensors, wearable computing, big data, machine-learning, and artificial intelligence. This second wave of AR will surpass novelty and extend our human capacities to better understand and experience our world in new meaningful ways. AR is no longer about technology, it’s about living in the real world and creating meaningful experiences that are human-centred. How do we want to live in and with AR, and how will it shape our lives?
