5. From Conceptual Links to Causal Relations — Physical-Virtual Artefacts in Mixed-Reality Space
Abstract : This thesis presents a set of concepts and a general design approach for designing Mixed Reality environments based on the idea that the physical (real) world and the virtual (digital) world are equally important and share many properties. Focus is on the design of a technology infrastructure intended to relieve people from some of the extra efforts currently needed when performing activities that make heavy use of both worlds.
