Multi-Layered Reality is a non-fiction book that provides a comprehensive perspective of reality. It provides a New Age belief system that offers answers to the most fundamental questions that all religions attempt to answer. The Multi-Layered Reality (MLR) view of the universe integrates key consensus beliefs from the world's major religions with those of science, forming a new belief system that is more comprehensive than that found in existing religions. MLR is the most inclusive view of physical and metaphysical reality in that it considers all significant metaphysical and paranormal phenomena that are supported by a preponderance of evidence as real and as part of the reality model. The MLR model is a layered one of multiple layers of physical and metaphysical reality. The MLR belief system should be helpful to all individuals that are seeking alternatives to traditional religions, and also to those that would like to supplement their present religion with an open and progressive worldview. Traditional belief systems are generally tied to the past, and are often in conflict with modern science and are not open to modern day evidence of metaphysical and paranormal phenomena. New systems that accept the existence of intelligent design but are not tied to a particular religion are needed. The Multi-Layered Reality belief system is for the 21st Century and beyond.

How augmented reality and virtual reality are taking their places in contemporary media culture alongside film and television. T This book positions augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) firmly in contemporary media culture. The authors view AR and VR not as the latest hyped technologies but as media—the latest in a series of what they term “reality media,” taking their places alongside film and television. Reality media inserts a layer of media between us and our perception of the world; AR and VR do not replace reality but refashion a reality for us. Each reality medium mediates and remediates; each offers a new representation that we implicitly compare to our experience of the world in itself but also through other media. The authors show that as forms of reality media emerge, they not only chart a future path for media culture, but also redefine media past. With AR and VR in mind, then, we can recognize their precursors in eighteenth-century panoramas and the Broadway lights of the 1930s. A digital version of Reality Media, available through the book’s website, invites readers to visit a series of virtual rooms featuring interactivity, 3-D models, videos, images, and texts that explore the themes of the book.
