But getting the timing right
is really hard…
ISMAR17 - Augmenting, Mixing & Extending Reality on the web
But Tim is only right
if you give up too soon!
Here are the different ways
people can interact with Mixed Reality
Mixed Reality Interaction Mode – Public
- Whole body in fov
- More spectators
- Limited distribution
Mixed Reality Interaction Mode – Personal
- Upper/whole body in fov
- Fewer spectators
- Wider distribution
Mixed Reality Interaction Mode – Private
- Extremeties or head in fov
- 1-2 direct participants
- Wider distribution & locations
Mixed Reality Interaction Mode – Intimate
- Only extremeties in fov
- 1 direct participant
- Pervasive but currently limited distribution
Where are we up to now?
What is Mixed Reality?

Paul Milgram - 1994
What is Augmented Reality?
Augmented Reality allows the user to see the real world,
with virtual objects superimposed upon
or composited with the real world.
Ron Azuma - 1997
Augmented Reality…
1. Combines the real and virtual
2. Is interactive in real time
3. Is registered in 3D
