This document provides a summary of a future reality map being developed by PATTERN5 Network, a group of 60+ members. It summarizes their work from 10 years ago forecasting 9 areas of convergence and provides an update. It outlines categories and frameworks to describe the current state of merging real and virtual worlds. This includes tools like identity (Facebook, Oculus), maps (simulation, cloud from Amazon, Google, Microsoft), and lenses (HTC, Hololens, Oculus). It discusses the importance of visualizing new realities and outlines reality design case studies. The document is privileged and confidential until 1/1/2017.
