Tracking for Distributed Mixed Reality Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
By developing a taxonomy of existing systems, libraries and frameworks used for developing Mixed Reality and Ubiquitous Computing environments, it can be seen that little effort has been made to research applications that share the characteristics of these two fields. Solutions have focussed on meeting the needs of each project in turn, rather than developing a generalised middleware, which would not only have the advantage of generality, but also facilitate cooperation and collaboration in what ought to be a crossdisciplinary area. We have designed just such a solution, that can be used to support a wide-range of Mixed Reality applications and allow them to inter-operate in a distributed fashion, whilst simultaneously supporting straightforward porting of legacy applications.

Hybrid Nodes with Sensors - Architecture for Interactive Distributed Mixed and Virtual Reality Environments
A distributed mixed-reality (MR) or virtual reality (VR) environment implies the cooperative engagement of a set of software and hardware resources. With the advances in sensors and computer networks we have seen an increase in the number of potential MR/VR applications that require large amounts of information from the real world collected through sensors (e.g. position and orientation trackin...

With the advances in sensors and computer networks an increased number of Mixed Reality (MR) applications require large amounts of information from the real world. Such information is collected through sensors (e.g. position and orientation tracking sensors). These sensors collect data from the physical environment in real-time at different locations and a distributed system connecting them mus...
