Perceptual Integration of Real-Space and Virtual-Space Based on Symbiotic Reality
Hiroshi Noguchi, Takuo Suganuma, Tetsuo Kinoshita · 2010
We have been investigating the "Symbiotic Computing'' which realizes co-existence between human and IT environment. In this paper, we describe the design of "Symbiotic Reality Provision Function: SRPF'' which integrate real space and virtual space perceptually. This function make users in one side of the space to feel existence of another side of the space. We concentrate on the design and implementation of "Symbio-Mirror,'' a mirror-type user interface which is one of the SRPF. In addition, we show the results of an experiment by using the Symbio-Mirror in our laboratory open house. In the experiment, we have explained our researches by poster presentation in both real and virtual space simultaneously.
