Dual Reality: Merging the Real and Virtual
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper proposes the convergence of sensor networks and virtual worlds not only as a possible solution to their respective limitations, but also as the beginning of a new creative medium. In such a “dual reality,” both real and virtual worlds are complete unto themselves, but also enhanced by the ability to mutually reflect, influence, and merge by means of sensor/actuator networks deeply embedded in everyday environments. This paper describes a full implementation of a dual reality system using a popular online virtual world and a humancentric sensor network designed around a common electrical power strip. Example applications (e.g., browsing sensor networks in online virtual worlds), interaction techniques, and design strategies for the dual reality domain are demonstrated and discussed.

متن کاملInteractive Shading and Shadowing for Mixed Reality
For merging real and virtual worlds, the following three aspects have to be taken into account: geometry, illumination and time. In this paper we propose the framework to project shadow of real objects on virtual world for seamless mixed reality environment. We have also developed the system such that ser in IPT illuminate virtual and real world with virtual light, shadow of real objects is pro...
