MIXED REALITY

Mixed reality (MR) - sometimes referred to as hybrid reality - combines real and virtual worlds and generates new environments and visualizations where physical worlds and digital objects can coexist and interact in real time. Foundry's explanation: Mixed Reality overlays synthetic elements on real-world content and interacts. For example, when performing surgery, surgeons can cover a virtual ultrasound image on the patient. A key feature of MR is that synthesized content can interact with real world content in real time. Hardware related to mixed reality includes Microsoft HoloLens.

 

While Microsoft is trying to introduce another term “holographic computation” to avoid AR/MR arguments, it is still a big part of the MR realm. Currently, Microsoft has just launched HoloLens simulator for developers, and now you can develop applications for new technologies. In addition, you can read more about it on TechCrunch. Of the various “realities” we talk about in this article, it seems that mixed reality looks the farthest from achieving results. However, in the future, it is not impossible to synthesize content to react to, or even interact with, the real world in some way.

 

Currently, virtual reality technology is developing at an alarming rate. But what challenges do the VR experience need to overcome in order to be truly immersive? Welcome to read our article more real than reality: Creating a “sense of immersion” in VR Learn more.
