Mixed Reality

1. Medical- Training/ Preventing --  PAST Analysing a body, virtually recreating it in order to learn. Registered first aid assistance- linking up via notifications on phones. 2. Medical- Real Time/ Assisting --- PRESENT (In Situation) Scanning each persons biological info. Gives symptoms, stress points in the body, options to assist, options to outsource further assistance. - Gen 3. Disasters/ Earthquake- Real Time Simulates pathways out of rubble. Infrared in dark, highlights moveable objects/ immovable objects. 4. Safe Zones/ Assistance Zones- Real Time Offers directional assistance in various disaster situations. Potential collaboration with all other ideas. -Ruth

In class, we were shown a variety of mixed reality devices including VR headsets, drones and the hololens. These revealed the wide capabilities of these realities and inspired us for our own project.  Brainstorming potential scenarios we could expand on for this project: Four Independent Study Ideas: 1.

Learning the differences between 'realities' and understanding their place in this project Source: Paul Milgram ; Haruo Takemura ; Akira Utsumi ; Fumio Kishino; Augmented reality: a class of displays on the reality-virtuality continuum. Proc. SPIE 2351, Telemanipulator and Telepresence Technologies, 282 (December 21, 1995) In class we discussed what a reality means, how we define and categorise them, and how this applies to our work. Understanding the difference in definition between realities can be a little confusing to wrap our heads around, but the easiest explanation that I've latched onto, is simply another world; something/someplace that we experience which is not the right there, right now world we're in. (eg: virtual/fictional/dream/memories/etc...) These 'realities' all depend on the use of our senses. And so in this project it is the senses we will stimulate to sell our ideas. The main two options we have to explore in this project are augment...
