Sandbox for the Article on Blended Spaces:

Dr.David Benyon defines, "Blended spaces are spaces where the physical world and the digital world are closely integrated and designed to provide a different sense of presence, of being in a different type of space".[1] Blended space differs from Mixed Reality in that it focuses more on tangible interactions.[1]
