Mixed Reality: A Survey

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,...

Social Situated Agents in Virtual, Real and Mixed Reality Environments

This paper details a framework for explicit deliberative control of socially and physically situated agents in virtual, real and mixed reality environments.
