The properties of mixed reality boundaries

چکیده

Mixed reality boundaries establish transparent windows between physical and virtual spaces. We introduce a set of properties that allow such boundaries to be configured to support different styles of co-operative activity. These properties are grouped into three categories: permeability (properties of visibility, audibility and solidity); situation (properties of location, alignment, mobility and segmentation); and dynamics (properties of lifetime and configurability). We discuss how each of these properties can be technically realised. We also introduce the meta-properties of symmetry and representation. We then describe and compare two contrasting demonstrations, a performance and an office-door, that rely on different property configurations. Introduction approaches to shared mixed reality There has been a growing interest in techniques for combining real and virtual environments to create mixed realities spatial environments where participants can interact with physical and digital information in an integrated way (Milgram & Kishino, 1994). Mixed realities may be shared, enabling people who are distributed across multiple physical and virtual spaces to communicate with one another. A variety of approaches to creating a shared mixed reality have been demonstrated, including augmented reality, augmented virtuality, tangible bits and mixed reality boundaries. Augmented reality involves overlaying and registering digital information (e.g., text and graphics) onto a real world scene in such a way that the digital information appears to be attached to physical objects, even as they move about.

Mixed Reality Boundaries in Museum Preservation Areas

The paper presents a work in the field of ‘mixed reality boundaries’ applied to the visualization of museum collections in order to display the collections ‘live’ as a way to extend virtually the preservation areas of museum collections. To achieve this goal, it was set out to integrate several virtual-studio techniques with multicasting IP in the web and the ‘tectonics’ of museums architecture...

What Is Mixed Reality, Anyway? Considering the Boundaries of Mixed Reality in the Context of Robots

Mixed reality, as an approach in human-computer interaction, is often implicitly tied to particular implementation techniques (e.g., see-through device) and modalities (e.g., visual, graphical displays). In this paper we attempt to clarify the definition of mixed reality as a more abstract concept of combining the real and virtual worlds – that is, mixed reality is not a given technology but a ...

Improving Petrophysical Interpretation of Conventional Log ‎by Determination of Real Bed Boundaries

Proper determination of bed boundaries in layered reservoirs is vital ‎for accurate petrophysical interpretation of conventional logs. In the ‎wellbore, logs continuously measure physical properties of reservoir ‎while the properties change stepwise. This continuous representation ‎of logs may lead to ignorance of some high potential reservoir zones. ‎The main reasons for continuous nature of l...

Critique of Novel/ The Reality at the Altar of Power: A review of Dear Mim as metafiction, Mahshad Shahbazi

As a type of writing originating in postmodernism, metafiction by breaking fictional frameworks and distorting boundaries of imagination and reality tries to reveal the artificial nature of reality and its constructedness in relation to the dominant power discourses. Thus, every playful chaos in the postmodern novel form stems from the depths of critical thinking in postmodernist skepticism abo...
