A taxonomy for enhanced reality systems
J. Bowskill, Jason Morphett, J. Downie · 2002
With virtual reality systems making heavy demands on many leading edge technologies, practical applications within real time environments are reliant on advances throughout science and engineering. Enhanced Reality (ER) describes an important set of systems in which technology is used to create and present information synthesised with the real world. The potential for computer 'annotated' reality enhancement is diverse and spans not only virtual reality but also machine vision, image processing techniques, auditory landscaping, as well as others. Network centered solutions utilising wearable computing platforms are recognised by the authors as enabling future collaborative working and telecommunications environments.
