An artist is using augmented reality to make the Syrian war feel real to people living in the US

To “make reality more real,” artist Asad J. Malik placed hologram images of the Syrian war in a variety of locations across the US. Anyone with a pair of HoloLens can experience his work in a familiar environment: The drowned Syrian boy Alan Kurdi lying on a couch in a building in Bennington college, Vermont; a refugee mom leading her child into an unknown future, outside a departure gate in San Francisco airport.
