ABSTRACT
In this article we define the concept of Distributed Reality, a new form of immersive media based on the combination of captured realities (e.g a remote and a local one), hence with a strong focus on video. While Virtual Reality fully substitutes the real surrounding with a simulation and all existing variations of Mixed Reality just provide additional synthetic elements into our visual field, our proposal is to capture and segment different scenes (one of them being the local one) in real time and merge the resulting elements dynamically, to create a completely new reality in front of the user senses. We compare this concept with prior art in the field and describe a taxonomy in which it fits.

Multimodal augmented reality: the norm rather than the exception
MVAR '16: Proceedings of the 2016 workshop on Multimodal Virtual and Augmented RealityAugmented reality (AR) is commonly seen as a technology that overlays virtual imagery onto a participant's view of the world. In line with this, most AR research is focused on what we see. In this paper, we challenge this focus on vision and make a case ...
Virtual and Real Body Representation in Mixed Reality: An Analysis of Self-presence and Immersive Environments
Entertainment Computing and Serious GamesAbstractOver the last decade, most of studies were focused on assessments of presence, degrees of immersion and user involvement with virtual reality, few works, however, addressed the mixed reality environments. In virtual reality, mostly through an ...
