Show HN: Feels Like Paper
"Feels Like Paper!" is a series of prototypes about augmenting
physical paper through AI. Various ML models, LLMs and a mixed
reality headset are used to infuse physical paper and ink with
properties of the digital world without compromising on their
physical traits.

| Thank you. You can investigate progressive blur.

| From the article: _Keichii Matsuda wrote a manifesto called

| advocates to leverage the possibility of augmented reality
| technologies to extend places and objects to populate the world
| with many different agents or "gods"._

| Author should read Daemon by Daniel Suarez written in 2006 that

| entities that interact with humans. It also loosely plays with
| the idea of AR somatic gestures acting as a mystical conduit for
| "primitive incantations" that have a physical affect on the real
| world.

| Hey, thanks for the literature recommendations and pointer.
| Will definitely have a look at them.

| Love the butterfly!!!

| Kudos for experimenting not just with AI but with webdesign. The

|
| keep it up!

| For an (old!) example that doesn't use glasses, I'm reminded of
