What is XR? Towards a Framework for Augmented and Virtual Reality

作者：

Highlights：

• XR should not be used as an abbreviation for “Extended Reality”; X should be the placeholder for “all” new reality formats.

• AR and VR have fundamental differences and thus should be treated as different experiences.

• AR experiences can be described on a LOCAL PRESENCE continuum ranging from Assisted Reality to Mixed Reality.

• VR experiences can be conceptualized on a TELEPRESENCE-continuum ranging from atomistic to holistic VR.
