Designing smooth connections between worlds

ABSTRACT

Currently there is a lack of explicit theories and few detailed guidelines to support the development of Mixed Reality (MR) technology and its varied applications. This research focuses on this lack by supporting the design, development and evaluation of MR lifecycle phases. The discussed methodology is based on the model-based approach for the design support and on analysis of continuous interaction properties to measure interaction techniques.
