One Reality: Augmenting How the Physical World is Experienced by combining Multiple Mixed Reality Modalities (original) (raw)
Related papers
Mixed reality (MR) is something that can be defined as a combination of real and virtual words. It can be used to provide newer visualizations and environments in the digital world and can interact with each other. It is a true mixture of how virtual and physical worlds can coexist. It is a sophisticated approach which uses a specific model and architecture to support 3-D display for free and augmented virtuality. The first phase conceptual design benefits like the first stage of the prototype by additional shapes, patterns and annotations. Both workspaces share a common interface and allow collaboration with different experts, who can configure the system for a specific task .A speedy design workflow and CAD data consistency can be naturally achieved .There is no similar approach that integrates the creation and editing phase of 3D curves and surfaces in Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR).Herein we see the major contributions of our new application.
Mixed reality - beyond conventions
Computers & Graphics, 2001
The rapid advances in computing and communications are dramatically changing all aspects of our lives. In particular, sophisticated 3D visualization, display, and interaction technologies are being used to complement our familiar physical world with computer-generated augmentations. These new interaction and display techniques are expected to make our work, learning, and leisure environments vastly more efficient and appealing.
The Evolution of a Framework for Mixed Reality Experiences
This chapter describes the evolution of a software system specifically designed to support the creation and delivery of Mixed Reality (MR) experiences. We first describe some of the attributes required of such a system. We then present a series of MR experiences that we have developed over the last four years, with companion sections on lessons learned and lessons applied. We conclude with several sample scripts that one might write to create experiences within the current version of this system. The authors' goals are to show the readers the unique challenges in developing an MR system for multimodal, multi-sensory experiences and to demonstrate how developing MR applications informs the evolution of such a framework.
The augurscope: a mixed reality interface for outdoors
2002
The augurscope is a portable mixed reality interface for outdoors. A tripod-mounted display is wheeled to different locations and rotated and tilted to view a virtual environment that is aligned with the physical background. Video from an onboard camera is embedded into this virtual environment. Our design encompasses physical form, interaction and the combination of a GPS receiver, electronic compass, accelerometer and rotary encoder for tracking. An initial application involves the public exploring a medieval castle from the site of its modern replacement. Analysis of use reveals problems with lighting, movement and relating virtual and physical viewpoints, and shows how environmental factors and physical form affect interaction. We suggest that problems might be accommodated by carefully constructing virtual and physical content.
Mixed Reality Interaction Techniques
ArXiv, 2021
This chapter gives an overview of interaction techniques for mixed reality including augmented and virtual reality (AR/VR). Various modalities for input and output are discussed. Specifically, techniques for tangible and surface-based interaction, gesture-based, pen-based, gaze-based, keyboard and mouse-based, as well as haptic interaction are discussed. Furthermore, the combination of multiple modalities in multisensory and multimodal interaction as well as interaction using multiple physical or virtual displays are presented. Finally, interaction with intelligent virtual agents is considered.
A Survey of Interaction in Mixed Reality Systems
2000
This paper surveys types of user interaction in Mixed Reality systems. Describes the basics concepts of this kind of applications and classifies some interfaces based in the type of augmentation that provides to users, namely interaction, action and perception augmentation.
Lecture Notes in Computer Science, 2009
This chapter presents an overview of the Mixed Reality (MR) paradigm, which proposes to overlay our real-world environment with digital, computer-generated objects. It presents example applications and outlines limitations and solutions for their technical implementation. In MR systems, users perceive both the physical environment around them and digital elements presented through, for example, the use of semitransparent displays. By its very nature, MR is a highly interdisciplinary field engaging signal processing, computer vision, computer graphics, user interfaces, human factors, wearable computing, mobile computing, information visualization, and the design of displays and sensors. This chapter presents potential MR applications, technical challenges in realizing MR systems, as well as issues related to usability and collaboration in MR. It separately presents a section offering a selection of MR projects which have either been partly or fully undertaken at Swiss universities and rounds off with a section on current challenges and trends.
CHI, 2019
What is Mixed Reality (MR)? To revisit this question given the many recent developments, we conducted interviews with ten AR/VR experts from academia and industry, as well as a literature survey of 68 papers. We find that, while there are prominent examples, there is no universally agreed on, one-size-fits-all definition of MR. Rather, we identified six partially competing notions from the literature and experts' responses. We then started to isolate the different aspects of reality relevant for MR experiences, going beyond the primarily visual notions and extending to audio, motion, haptics, taste, and smell. We distill our findings into a conceptual framework with seven dimensions to characterize MR applications in terms of the number of environments, number of users, level of immersion, level of virtuality, degree of interaction , input, and output. Our goal with this paper is to support classification and discussion of MR applications' design and provide a better means to researchers to contextualize their work within the increasingly fragmented MR landscape.
