Abstract
Rapid development in processing power, graphic cards and mobile computers open up a wide domain for Mixed Reality applications. Thereby the Mixed Reality continuum covers the complete spectrum from Virtual Reality using immersive projection technology to Augmented Reality using mobile systems like Smartphones and UMPCs. At the Fraunhofer IGD the Mixed Reality Framework instantreality (www.instantreality. org) has been developed as a single and consistent interface for AR/VR developers. This framework provides a comprehensive set of features to support classic Virtual Reality (VR) as well as mobile Augmented Reality (AR). The goal is to provide a very simple application interface which includes the latest research results in the fields of high-realistic rendering, 3D user interaction and total-immersive display technology. The system design is based on various industry standards to facilitate application development and deployment.
