Multi-scale interactions between augmented reality and virtual reality users in mixed reality environment.

Abstract

Multi-scale interaction in Mixed Reality (MR) allows the avatars to shrink down themselves into a small size or enlarge into giant size. Multi-scale in MR is important in some situations that required precise avatar’s measurements to interact and manipulate with the content. However, the correct or appropriate scaling for multi-scale still remain unsolved in MR, very less people work in Augmented Reality (AR). It is critical to align precisely the way humans perceive the virtual world with the ways perceiving the real world. Therefore, this paper aims to produce a correct multi-scale technique for VR and AR users in MR environment. This paper presents a preliminary study on the previous works multi-scale techniques for MR remote collaboration. Then it explains the development of a multi-scale interaction between VR and AR users for the MR environment. Finally, this paper shows the results and implement the technique into an application. The results used to measure how multi-scale interaction can be leveraged with MR technology. The remote MR application involves AR and VR users with different interaction techniques.
