چکیده
In mixed reality installations we have to integrate a variety of technologies such as virtual reality, augmented reality, animated virtual agents and robotic agents. In this paper we describe some of our explorations with a game engine as the driving software for mixed reality installations.

Intelligent virtual environments for virtual reality art
The development of Virtual Reality Art installations is faced with considerable difficulties, especially when one wishes to explore complex notions related to user interaction. We describe the development of a VR platform, which supports the development of such installations, from an Art+Science perspective. The system is based on a CAVETM-like immersive display using a game engine to support v...

Interactive Mixed Reality installations combine multimedia with novel multimodal interaction techniques. As an example of mixed reality environments the “Sensoric Garden” seven installations shown during a festival in Bremen are described. As this kind of event cannot be evaluated in terms of usability or effectiveness, we need other categories to assess the attractiveness or “joy of use” of in...
متن کاملThe game industry is rapidly expanding and interest in using game technology for educational and training purposes
This paper addresses the integration of sensor networks, game engines and network protocol technologies. An architecture is presented which will enable these technologies to be leveraged to create mixed reality systems that support a number of applications. An instantiation of this architecture has been created. The design and implementation of the system gives a virtual representation of a sma...
متن کاملA generic framework for game development
This article describes a generic framework used in the MR based AMIRE (Authoring Mixed Reality) project. The concepts of the presented framework can be used in every 3D based application (e.g. game, VR-/ARapplications etc.) and our approach allows an easy communication between the objects (game objects). If you are working on several games or VR/AR based applications you will see a common patte...
متن کامل3d Game Engines as a New Reality
Three-Dimensional (3D) Game Engines are large and complex, but very efficient at creating huge, artificial worlds for entertainment. As they mature, they improve and mimic the real world ever more realistically than competing Virtual Reality (VR) systems. In the present paper, we describe the key components that form a modern 3D Game Engine such as the ‘Source’ or ‘Quake III’ engines (by Valve ...
