In recent years, various systems in different fields of life have been developed to simulate real world scenarios with interactive virtual environments. In the mixed reality (MR) space, several objects are involved to interact in numerous ways which may lead to inconsistencies. Hence, we designed a cost-effective and robust framework that allows synchronized interaction in real time among different modules of the Adaptive Mixed Reality (AMR) space. The proposed system consists of Agent-Mediator framework. Each smart media agent (SMA) in AMR space has its own data processing, management and visualization units. SMA processes the data received from various input devices and updates the local model by reflecting the immersive contents on media walls. SMA maintains synchronization locally as well as transmits the information and raw-data to the Mediator. The central control system i.e. the Mediator receives data from several SMAs and conducts comparative analysis to select appropriate information. It updates the global model by sharing the synchronized updated status with other SMAs in AMR space. The proposed framework provides a real time interaction with immersive contents in AMR space and adjusts it efficiently to different typology on the basis of user's response.
