Definition

Mixed Reality is the merging of real world and virtual worlds to produce a new environment where physical and digital objects can co-exist and interact. A mix of augmented reality and virtual reality. (Wikipedia).

See also: ubiquitous computing since some mixed reality environments are implemented with mobile devices.

Types of systems

Benford identifies 3 major lines of research

  • (Some kinds of) Collaborative Virtual Environments (CVEs)
  • (Some kinds of) Telepresence systems
  • Collaborative Augmented Environments

See shared spaces for Benford's typology of shared spaces.
