8. How did we get here?

16. How did we get here? 2017 The web gets Computer Vision!

17. What predictions did we get right? Mixed Reality will be possible in the web

18. What predictions did we get right? Mixed Reality will be possible in the web ARStandards Workshop Seoul, 2010

19. What predictions did we get right? Mixed Reality Web Standards test harness

20. What predictions did we get right? Mixed Reality Web Standards test harness isweb3here.com, 2011

21. What predictions did we get right? OS level spatial tracking would be released

22. What predictions did we get right? OS level spatial tracking would be released W3C WebVR Workshop, 2016

23. But getting the timing right is really hard…

24. But Tim is only right if you give up too soon!

25. Space is collapsing all around us…

26. What does “Immersive” mean? Image Credit

29. How is our distance from Technology evolving? Image Credit The spaces between you & your devices are shrinking

30. How is our distance from Technology evolving? The spatial point of origin has changed Image Credit

31. How is our distance from Technology evolving? Image Credit The distance between objects & the network is shrinking too

32. How is our distance from Technology evolving? xxx Image Credit

33. How is our distance from Technology evolving? Image Credit Eventually almost all objects will be networked

34. How is our distance from Technology evolving? Image Credit So your spatial relationship to both objects & the network has changed

35. How is our distance from Technology evolving? Image Credit With wearables & nearables leading our current wave of change

36. How is our distance from Technology evolving? Image Credit Next we will change our definition of organisation

37. How is our distance from Technology evolving? Image Credit All of this is shrinking the distance between thought & action

38. How is our distance from Technology evolving? Image Credit The distance between object, network and action is shrinking to create a truly “user centred” world of Immersive Computing

40. This is the evolution of our new Reality

41. Definition of Mixed Reality Image Credit Paul Milgram - 1994

42. Definition of Augmented Reality Augmented Reality allows the user to see the real world, with virtual objects superimposed upon or composited with the real world. Ron Azuma - 1997 Augmented Reality… 1. Combines the real and virtual 2. Is interactive in real time 3. Is registered in 3D

44. Here are the different ways people can interact with Mixed Reality

45. Mixed Reality Interaction Mode – Public - Whole body in fov - More spectators - Limited distribution

46. Mixed Reality Interaction Mode – Personal - Upper/whole body in fov - Fewer spectators - Wider distribution

47. Mixed Reality Interaction Mode – Private - Extremeties or head in fov - 1-2 direct participants - Wider distribution & locations

48. Mixed Reality Interaction Mode – Intimate - Only extremeties in fov - 1 direct participant - Pervasive but currently limited distribution
