Abstract

Mixed Reality is defined as a combination of Reality, Augmented Reality, Augmented Virtuality and Virtual Reality. This innovative technology can aid with the transition between these stages. The enhancement of reality with synthetic images allows us to perform tasks more easily, such as the collaboration between people who are at different locations. Collaborative manufacturing, assembly tasks or education can be conducted remotely, even if the collaborators do not physically meet. This paper reviews both past and recent research, identifies benefits and limitations, and extracts design guidelines for the creation of collaborative Mixed Reality applications in technical settings.
