Cross Reality (CR) is defined as the transition between or concurrent usage of multiple systems on the Reality-Virtuality (RV) continuum. Standard monitors have higher resolution and readability than head-mounted displays (HMDs), which is more suitable for tasks that require accuracy and precision. Virtual Reality (VR) Head-Mounted Displays (HMDs) support stereopsis, head tracking, and motion tracking and provide depth cues that are not available with a standard monitor. Augmented Reality (AR) HMDs allow users to perceive information from the physical world while preserving stereoscopic visualization and body motion tracking. The goal of CR is to develop applications that cross between different points of the RV continuum and utilize the most appropriate devices for the task at hand.
At the SEER Lab, we look into systems that connect multiple points on the RV spectrum. We are conducting studies and working on projects on both single-user and collaborative CR applications. Our goals are to exploit the benefits and insights of CR and build guidelines that allow developers to implement CR applications more efficiently and effectively.
