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. Beyond this, however, the paper is intended to support the philosophical effort to understand the notions of extended knowledge and the extended mind. In particular, the HoloArt app raises questions about the universality of some of the criteria that have been used to evaluate putative cases of cognitive extension. The upshot is a better appreciation of the way in which claims about extended knowledge and the extended mind might be affected by a consideration of technologically-advanced resources.
将延展心智理论应用于互联网和网络，产生了一种延展知识形式的可能性，这种知识是个体与在线环境交互的结果。本文旨在通过描述一款名为HoloArt应用程序的现实世界应用的功能，增进我们对互联网延展知识的理解。在一定程度上，本文的目标具有说明性：旨在展示混合现实、云计算和机器智能的最新进展如何结合，从而产生一个假定的互联网延展知识案例。然而，除此之外，本文旨在支持理解延展知识和延展心智概念的哲学努力。特别是，HoloArt应用程序引发了关于一些用于评估认知延展假定案例的标准的普遍性的问题。结果是，我们能更好地理解关于延展知识和延展心智的主张可能如何受到对技术先进资源的考虑的影响。
