Overview
This project explores a mixed reality workspace that allows users to combine arbitrary physical and computer-generated artifacts, and to control and simulate them within one fused world. All interactions are captured, monitored, modeled and represented with quasi-real world physics. The objective of this research project is to create an environment in which the virtual world and physical world have a symbiotic relationship. In this type of system, virtual objects can impose forces on the physical world and physical world objects can impose forces on the virtual world. The proof-of-concept system was designed for a tele-operated virtual environment.
