Study Notes

Mixed Reality (MR) Overview

  • Mixed reality (MR) merges real and virtual worlds.
  • Digital and physical objects coexist and interact in real-time.
  • MR combines virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR).

Virtual Reality (VR)

  • VR creates a completely digital environment.
  • Users wear headsets to block out the real world.
  • The user experiences a computer-generated, immersive world.

Augmented Reality (AR)

  • AR enhances the real world with computer-generated 3D content.
  • AR adds elements to the real world, but virtual elements don't change surroundings.
  • Common AR examples: apps like Pokémon Go, and AR glasses.

Applications of MR

  • Automotive Industry: Vehicle design and engineering reviews (reducing costly prototypes).
  • Healthcare: Pain relief in burn injuries, non-invasive pain management.
  • Tourism: Users can experience a holiday before buying it.
  • Entertainment: Highlighting experiences and connecting emotionally with characters.
  • Education: Immersive lessons, interaction with 3D models (e.g., imagining ancient Egypt).

Creating MR

  • MR creation involves software and hardware components.

MR Hardware Components

  • Headsets: HoloLens (Microsoft), Windows Mixed Reality Headsets, Apple Vision Pro.
  • Sensors: Depth cameras, gyroscopes, and infrared cameras.
  • Processing components: CPUs for computational tasks, GPUs for 3D graphics rendering.
  • Input devices: Motion controllers, hand tracking.

MR Software Platforms

  • Unity: Popular game engine for MR content creation.
  • Unreal Engine: Powerful game engine for MR, supports high-quality graphics and various MR devices.
  • Microsoft Mixed Reality Toolkit (MRTK): Collection of tools for building MR applications, works with Unity and Unreal Engine.
  • Azure Mixed Reality Services: Cloud services supporting MR development.
  • Vuforia Engine: Software platform for AR and MR applications, known for advanced tracking.
