Mixed reality (MR) is a technology that combines the physical world with a computer-generated environment. In MR, virtual objects appear in the real world and you can interact with them in real time.
Principles
- MR headsets have cameras that map the user’s environment.
- Digital information is represented by 3-D images or ‘holograms’ projected into, or overlaying, thevisual field, appearing as real-space objects made of light and sound.
- Artificial intelligence allows apparent ‘holograms’ to interact with real-world people/surfaces.
Applications
- Design and advertising: MR can be used to bring 3-D images into the real world.
- Gaming: MR headsets can be used to create games where characters can walk around in thephysical world.
- Entertainment: MR can be used to create VR games inspired by movies, historical settings, and arcade games.
