The Metaverse comprises technologies to enable virtual twins of the real world, via mixed reality, internet of things, and others. As it matures unique challenges arise such as a lack of strong connections between virtual and physical…
The world is slowly moving towards everything being simulated digitally and virtually. Mixed Reality (MR) is the amalgam of the real world with virtual stimuli. It has great prospects in the future in terms of various applications…
The metaverse, i.e., the collection of technologies that provide a virtual twin of the real world via mixed reality, internet of things, and others, is gaining prominence. However, the metaverse faces challenges as it grows toward…
We investigate hybrid user interfaces (HUIs), aiming to establish a cohesive understanding and adopt consistent terminology for this nascent research area. HUIs combine heterogeneous devices in complementary roles, leveraging the distinct…
The metaverse refers to the merger of technologies for providing a digital twin of the real world and the underlying connectivity and interactions for the many kinds of agents within. As this set of technology paradigms - involving…
The contributions of this paper are: (1) a taxonomy of the "Realities" (Virtual, Augmented, Mixed, Mediated, etc.), and (2) some new kinds of "reality" that come from nature itself, i.e. that expand our notion beyond synthetic realities to…
In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in the use of robotic technology at home. A number of service robots appeared on the market, supporting customers in the execution of everyday tasks. Roughly at the same time, consumer…
Metaverse is a new type of Internet application and social form that integrates a variety of new technologies. It has the characteristics of multi-technology, sociality, and hyper spatiotemporality. This paper introduces the development…
Technological advances are redefining the relationship between physical and virtual spaces. Traditionally, when users engage in virtual reality, they are completely cutoff from the physical space. Similarly, they are unable to access…
This paper summarizes current notes about a new mixed-reality paradigm that we named as "pervasive virtuality". This paradigm has emerged recently in industry and academia through different initiatives. In this paper we intend to explore…
