Revisiting Milgram and Kishino's Reality-Virtuality Continuum

Since its introduction in 1994, Milgram and Kishino's reality-virtuality (RV) continuum has been used to frame virtual augmented reality research development. While originally, the RV three dimensions of supporting taxonomy (extent world knowledge, reproduction fidelity, extent presence metaphor) were intended characterize capabilities visual display technology, researchers have embraced while largely ignoring taxonomy. Considering leaps technology made over last 25 years, revisiting is timely. In reexamining ideas, we realized, first, that actually discontinuous; perfect cannot be reached. Secondly, mixed broader than previously believed, and, fact, encompasses conventional experiences. Finally, our revised adds coherence, accounting for role users, which critical assessing modern The 3D space created by incorporates familiar constructs such as immersion, also proposes new may important matures.
