We have already talked about the generosities that they currently give us virtual reality and augmented reality, who already show us the wonders of what technology is able to do. But have you ever heard of the fusion between these two worlds? Today we will talk to you about the mixed reality and what does it consist of.
La mixed reality is the technology that results from the combination of virtual and augmented reality. This combination of forces then allows us to fully enter a real environment, with the peculiarity of being able to interact with virtual elements.
In other words, this technology allows a person to interact with a virtual environment (as in the RV) in real time (as in the RA). But the main difference is that in addition, real objects in the environment also serve the user to interact with the virtual world.
La mixed reality can be enjoyed wearing a closed helmet with a screen over the eyes, where you can observe both the real and the virtual environment. The device incorporates a camera to observe our environment, in addition, it follows our eyes and movements, and projects holograms that look as if they were part of the real world.
La mixed reality is achieved by scanning the external environment to generate a 3D map. After this, the surface is analyzed and the device is enabled to place the visual elements in the exact places. This ability makes the best characteristics of the two realities fit together perfectly.
La mixed reality, as well as virtual and augmented reality, has multiple applications and an adaptability that allows it to continue to advance and improve processes and industries; entertainment, architecture, medicine, cinema, education and many more. Applications that were previously almost impossible to fulfill, such as companies that can offer interactive products to their customers, catalogs or 3D replicas represented in reality.
Let's look at some of the most relevant applications of mixed reality:
Primarily, the mixed reality can be applied in the education sector achieving an improvement in students' learning methods, through simulations of tasks created virtually in a real environment. This is an attractive way to attract students' attention and get them to acquire knowledge with the help of technology.
Thanks to this technology, students can immerse themselves in a learning environment where they can see examples through holograms, interact with them and thus better understand concepts.
El Entertainment and video games They are another of the applications of mixed reality. And this, as has been seen in the case of virtual reality and augmented reality, is perhaps the sector that is making the most progress, mainly due to the success of VR and AR systems.
La mixed reality is in the process of improving the experience of its two predecessors, since it includes some technical aspects such as the integration of elements with greater precision and interaction with the user, and the recognition of gestures that allow the user to expand and move away.
The health sector is another field that can benefit the most from this technology. In the case of surgical simulations, using the MR complex interventions can be practiced or serve as learning for students. But it is also useful in the case of interventions in real time, since the surgeon can receive information from the patient, plan the interventions or locate disorders more easily.
The use of these systems provides some significant benefits such as: reduced use of surgical equipment; location of brain tumors with greater precision; better planning of operations; training of healthcare professionals; etc.
In the area of architecture and engineering, virtual, augmented and mixed reality greatly improve project design, thanks to the ability of these disciplines to interact with virtual models. With the mixed reality the architect or engineer can measure, draw, cut or apply textures to surfaces, materials and environments that have been previously scanned.
This procedure is performed using an HMD helmet, which represents the virtual elements on the transparent screen of the helmet. In this way, a design can be reviewed as many times as necessary and with greater accuracy, before moving on to the manufacturing or building phase, detecting possible faults at an early stage.
In short, technology and realities will continue to improve processes in different disciplines and will continue to surprise us with their advances.
