Psychometric Architecture is an extension of the Arch-OS system and brings together three spaces (Portland Square University of Plymouth, The Digital Media Studio, Central Academy of Fine Arts, School of Software and Peking Univ. The Institute of Digital Media, Beijing Normal Univ.) and their inhabitants. The concepts of objects (or places) seeming to record events and then play them back for sensitive people is generally referred to as psychometry. The objects can be called psychometric objects or token objects.

Arch-OS provides a new context for psychometry by allowing the inhabitants of all three locations to witness each others activities. The system records these activities and intertwines the history of each space with the live images captured and broadcast.
