Shedding Light on the Extended Mind: HoloLens, Holograms, and Internet-Extended Knowledge.

The application of extended mind theory to the Internet and Web yields the possibility of -a form of extended knowledge that arises as a result of an individual's interactions with the online environment. The present paper seeks to advance our understanding of Internet-extended knowledge by describing the functionality of a real-world application, called the HoloArt app. In part, the goal of the paper is illustrative: it is intended to show how recent advances in mixed reality, cloud-computing, and machine intelligence might be combined so as to yield a putative case of Internet-extended knowledge.
