What is Mixed Reality?
- Mixed Reality is a blend of physical and digital worlds, unlocking the links between human, computer, and environmental interaction.
- This new reality is based on advancements in computer vision, graphical processing power, display technology, and input systems.
- The application of Mixed Reality has gone beyond displays to include:
- Environmental input
- Spatial sound
- Locations and positioning in both real and virtual spaces
What is holoportation?
- Holoportation is a new type of 3D capture technology that allows high-quality 3D models of people to be reconstructed, compressed, and transmitted anywhere in the world in real-time.
- When combined with mixed reality displays, this technology allows users to see, hear, and interact with remote participants in 3D as if they are present in the same physical space
- Communicating and interacting with remote users becomes as natural as face-to-face communication.
Other types of reality
- Virtual Reality: It is a computer-generated simulation in which a person can interact within an artificial three-dimensional environment using electronic devices, such as special goggles with a screen or gloves fitted with sensors.
- Augmented Reality: It is an interactive experience of a real-world environment where the objects that reside in the real world are enhanced by computer-generated perceptual information, sometimes across multiple sensory modalities, including visual, auditory, haptic, somatosensory, and olfactory.
