- Augmented virtuality
Augmented virtuality (AV) (also referred to as
Mixed reality ) refers to the merging of real world objects into virtual worlds [P. Milgram and A. F. Kishino, [http://vered.rose.utoronto.ca/people/paul_dir/IEICE94/ieice.html "Taxonomy of Mixed Reality Visual Displays"] IEICE Transactions on Information and Systems, E77-D(12), pp. 1321-1329, 1994.] .As an intermediate case in the
Virtuality Continuum , it refers to predominantly virtual spaces, where physical elements, e.g. physical objects or people, are dynamically integrated into, and can interact with the virtual world in real-time. This integration is achieved with the use of various techniques. Often streaming video from physical spaces, e.g. via webcam, (see [http://www.sics.se/dive/ The Distributed Interactive Virtual Environment (DIVE)] ), or using 3-dimensional digitalisation of physical objects (see [http://tele-immersion.citris-uc.org/ Tele-Immersion@UC Berkeley] ).ee also
