MR

Learn in the textbookxR / Immersive Technologies and the Metaverse

DefinitionMR (Mixed Reality) is technology in which a device reads the shape of real space and merges virtual objects with real ones so that they appear to interact.

ExplanationBecause the device recognizes the position and shape of surrounding walls and desks, a virtual object that moves behind a real object is hidden from view, so even which one is in front can be shown. As the user walks around, they can view the object from other angles and even move it with hand gestures.

Memory hook"Mixed" means blended together. MR blends the real and the virtual into one space.
