2. Virtual Reality
It produces an appearing of reality that allows the user to perceive a sensation of presence inside of it. It is
got through producing a set of images watched by the user through screens, head mounted displays, etc. Some
equipment are complemented with wearings and gloves with haptic sensors designed to simulate of different
tactile stimuli that intensify the sense of reality. There are several definitions for VR: “Synthetic Reality”,
“Virtual Worlds”, “Cyberspace”, “Virtual Environments” and more particularly “Presence” but the most
appropriate is the definition that says VR consists of interactive tridimensional simulations reproducing
environments and real situation [1]. It is said that a VR application must have these conditions:
1. Simulation, referred to the ability of being a system allowing the representation of a reality;
2. Interaction, to control the system or world represented;
3. Perception, allowing lying to the senses through external elements.
2.1. History
It is a relatively new concept despite of being developed at late 1950s visual devices similar to the ones used
in VR applications. But not before the late 1980s it is extended the concept of VR, to be exploited at 1990s by
scientific, military, visionary and technologic enterprises. Several of the most relevant projects are shown at
table 3.
2.2. Components
• Vision devices: Where virtual world is shown (Computer monitor, laptop screen, TV screen, projector,
mobile device screen, tablet screen, video console screen, OPI/MUPI, CAVE, etc.)
• VR SW: Program managing virtual data.
• Interaction devices: keyboard and mouse, joysticks, haptic devices, etc.
2.3. Tools
Despite of the existence of a lot of this kind of tools, some of the most popular tools used to develop 3D
virtual environments are mentioned at Table 1.

3. Augmented Reality
It produces a direct or indirect vision of a physical environment from the real world, whose elements are
combined with virtual elements at real time. It generates stimuli at real time for the user’s interaction that are
superposed over the physical environment of the user. It is made through a set of devices adding virtual
Héctor Olmedo/ Procedia Computer Science 00 (2013) 000–000
information to the existing physical information this is, physical reality is not substituted but computer data are
superimposed to the real world.
These devices use computer vision, object recognition, geolocation and tracking to associate artificial
information stored that can be retrieved like an information layer at the upside part of the vision of the real
world, making it interactive and digital. Virtual information is added to the physical information to enrich,
improve, change and interact with the reality, so we could say AUGMETING REALITY.
AR applications like the ones developed for marketing will need visualization devices, special SW and HW.
But capture devices and activators too. Computer vision based AR applications can be marker systems based or
marker less systems based. Also there will be applications that use tracking and geolocation. Visualization will
be projector based, using head-mounted displays or just with a browser. HW used nowadays is based on low
cost microprocessor development boards, videogame devices, smart phones and tablets but also still PCs and
laptops are used. There are everyday more and more SW providers that offer development frameworks,
browsers, authoring tools and SW libraries [15].
3.1. History
After several VR projects during years from 1960 to 1990, term AR appears in 1992 and then, the first
prototypes. From them till 2013, prototypes for Marketing, Tourism, Education, Industry and Entertainment are
developed. From 2012, HW and SW improvements are produced and new inputs that make AR popular.
3.2. Components
• Capture devices: getting information from real world (Webcam, laptop webcam, smart phone webcam,
video cam,)
• Vision devices: where real images and virtual images are shown (computer display, laptop display, TV
display, projector, smart phone display, tablet display, video console display, OPI/MUPI,)
• AR SW: program that mixes images from real world with virtual data.
• Activators: marks that are recognized by the AR SW to insert the virtual data. They are capable of transmit
movement and perspective (simple markers, image markers, facial recognition, GPS coordinates, QR codes,
NFC…)
3.3. Tools
Besides of the tools used to create 3D virtual worlds and images shown at Table 1, tools shown at Table 2
are used to make the join of real and virtual images.

4. Mixed Reality
Milgram [40] proposed the idea of the Reality-Virtuality Continuum where reality as we know is situated at
one side and virtual environments totally generated by computer or VR is situated at the opposite side. Moving
from the side of the reality to the side of the VR we could pass by the AR and from the VR towards Reality we
will situate at an Augmented Virtuality, AV. Everything between AR and AV is called MR. MR not only
allows user’s interaction with virtual environments even allows physical objects from the immediate
environment of the user to be elements to interact with the virtual environment.
MR will include everything that is not only VR nor AR applications. For example and application developed
for giving a virtual scene for broadcasting the weather forecast with a real human over it.
Fig. 1. Virtuality continuum [40]
AR concept involves the combination of different technologies to mix on real time 3D content computer
generated with live video recorded with a device [41]. An example of AR could be an application that
superposes a synthetic image over a real image; this is done with applications for indoor design that superpose
virtual furniture over images with the buildings. MR would be between AR and VR, concerning to different
levels of mixture of real and virtual world, integrated on one only visualization device, depending of the weight
of its contribution to the final result [40]. An example of AV could be an application that superposes a real
image over a synthetic image, the way it is done with virtual stages for weather forecast where the real image of
the presenter is superposed over the maps. So it is on MR where techniques such as using physical objects from
the user’s environment are used as elements for interacting with the virtual environment.

5. Situation of AR/MR/VR
In order to give a wide vision of the scope of the technologies presented, this section introduces the sectors
where they are applied, the required professional profiles to develop applications based on AR/MR/VR, the
possibilities to learn about them and the related standards being developed.
Héctor Olmedo/ Procedia Computer Science 00 (2013) 000–000
5.1. Sectors
The sectors where these technologies are applied and the services offered will be also pointed. We will
group them in: Industrial production systems, Training simulators, Cultural heritage and Centers like museums
or thematic parks as shown in Table 4.

Several examples of projects and real applications from business and academia will be given. Despite of the
two leading formats for AR learning experiences given at [45]: augmented books and mobile AR apps,
projects such as Avalon [46] that allows learning of Spanish language to foreign students inside a MR
environment could be another kind of proposal. Considering gaming area, there are two examples with great
success: Invizimals [47] developed by Novarama [48] for the SONY PSP video console and ARDefender [49]
available for Android and iOS. Recently launched Open Me [50] for video console PSVITA is a promising
proposal of video game AR-based. Related to medicine AR applied to surgery is described in [51]. There are
curious proposals as the industrial and informational application from Virtualware for the Spanish Postal
service Correos [52] simulating sizes of shipments. Another interesting project for marketing is Magic Mirror
[53] that is a virtual fitting room that could increase sales of clothes. Duran Duran Project [54] based on
gigantic markers shows a projected AR in a concert, so it could be considered an example of entertainment.
Project Augmented mirror [55] goes beyond allowing real time animation of a virtual character shown to an
audience as it is performed by a hidden actor, but there are proposal for Theme Parks [56] and museums [57].
In the scope of arts, project ObservAR [58] oriented to museums is an example.
5.2. Professional profiles
The required profiles by companies for working with these technologies are mainly
"Developer/Programmer" and "Modeler". The first one must be a computing expert with strong skills
programming 3D graphics and interactive devices with several programming languages. The second one should
have a background on arts, with capabilities for design and experience with multimedia, modeling, animation,
simulation and 3D rendering SW. But profiles mixing capabilities from these two basic profiles are more
demanded every day.
Héctor Olmedo/ Procedia Computer Science 00 (2013) 000–000
5.3. Training
Nowadays several projects are developed at Universities and Academia but there no specific studies for
learning these technologies. If we ask for "AR/MR/VR" at the website of ANECA (The National Agency for
Quality Assessment and Accreditation of Spain) [59], there are only four Grades/Masters offered by Spanish
Universities as shown at table. But there are also other Schools and Colleges that offer related studies.

5.4. Standards
As long as VR is older than AR, several standards like VRML and X3D have been designed by Web3D
Consortium [60] but there are also works in progress for AR. For example, ARML [61] is a proposal. But the
big challenge is to compress and stream 3D assets using an effective and widely adopted coder – decoder
(codec), in the same way as MP3 is the standard for audio, H.264 for video and PNG/JPEG for images.

6. Future of AR/MR/VR
Having a wide vision of the situation of AR/MR/VR, in this section the seven most promising research lines
nowadays will be shown. The first three of them will be HW based (Google Glass, Microsoft Kinect and
Mobile apps). The last three will be new concepts (Smart cities, Serious games and Web3D). The one in the
middle (Open HW based apps) will be also HW based but also the basis of a new concept.
6.1. Google glass
VR glasses were an icon for this technology but they were relegated due to their manufacturing costs and
also because of adaptation issues related to the user. Nowadays there is even researching on contact lens [62],
but after Google’s advert for its new device called Google Glass [63], expectations for researchers and
developers have been triggered because it could be a great opportunity for exploding AR applications. Even
new manufacturers have designed similar products as Oculus Rift [64], Atheer [65], Meta [66], Epson Moverio
[67], Oakley Airwave [68], Sony HMZ-T1 [69], Vuzix [70], Glass Up [71] and Eyeborg Eyecam 3.0 [72].
These products give a second chance to VR glasses. Other devices for allowing us to walk through virtual
worlds the way we do on real world are the perfect complement for these visualization gadgets, Omni [73] is
the most clear and recent example.
Héctor Olmedo/ Procedia Computer Science 00 (2013) 000–000
6.2. Microsoft Kinect
This device manufactured by Microsoft as a complement for its video console XBOX 360 has been
supporting development of AR applications at labs researching new HCI ways and also for companies
developing interactive products. Projects for therapies as Virtualrehab [74] or Toyra [75] oriented to physical
rehabilitation have been developed using this device that monitors color, depth and audio. Also it could be used
as a biometric controller as announced for the next generation XBOX ONE console. It has been the base of
projects for sign language recognition [76] and recently a SW for turning any surface into a touch screen has
been presented by Ubi Interactive [77] using Kinect and a projector. Of course, competitors have appeared as
SONY Playstation 4 Eye [78], Leap Motion [79], MYO [80], Omek [81] and Tobii [82].
6.3. Mobile applications
Smart phones and tablets with their powerful HW and small sizes are the perfect support to develop mobile
devices with AR/MR/VR capabilities. The wide and increasing range of apps developed for the most popular
operating systems for mobile and tablets (iOS, Android) based on these technologies could be enough to give
us an idea of the growth of these kind of apps [83].
6.4. Open HW based applications
With open HW represented by Arduino [84] and Gainer [85] professional and amateur developers can make
true devices in a cheaper way than years ago when high costs in HW were only affordable for great companies.
Besides, 3D printing allows manufacturing of elements to interact with this HW in an easy way. These are the
basis of the so called "Internet of things".
6.5. Smart cities
Based on definitions given for AR/MR/VR, a city is a perfect stage for applying these technologies. This
way, smart cities are being a line of research for these technologies. Wireless technologies, networked
infrastructures, improved travel solutions, rational and coordinated use of resources, social inclusion, and
increased competitiveness are all implicated in the advent of smart cities. A smart city is not only a city full of
sensors, cams and lights controlling everything. It is about adapting use of technology to improve citizens' life.
The target is getting the optimum management of resources and giving a greater accessibility to different
services. A Smart City improves and integrates sectors and transport subsystems with others like education,
health, security, entertainment, commerce and public services. Use of data generated by smart cities and our
capability to use them are deeply related with the use of Big Data to make easier the treatment of those data and
make them useful information. The goal is to understand what the city is telling us, being able to translate all
these data to have a more efficient management for the citizens. Here resides the role of AR/MR/VR that can
be outstanding when showing the data if we assume the quote "a picture speaks a thousand words". An example
is SmartSantanderRA [86].
6.6. Serious Games
Videogames still are a target for these technologies, but recently the use of a new way of learning is
growing. It is called gamification. It consists on applying videogame’s philosophy to other aspects of the real
life as managing, learning, etc. This is why serious games are more important every day with examples as
Héctor Olmedo/ Procedia Computer Science 00 (2013) 000–000
Delfos3D Project [87]. Of course, AR/MR/VR form an alliance with marketing, advertising and simulation to
develop this kind of projects.
6.7. Web3D
Despite of considering Second Life [88] a failure, Web3D is the future. An example of this could be the
success of Minecraft [89], it could be considered a simply “digital LEGO” where remote users build structures
with blocks in a virtual world. Even more and more websites are tridimensional. There are several project
developing APIs based on X3D [12] as shown in Table 1 helping programmers to build 3D websites. This will
be generalized when our smart phones and tablets will be able to visualize these characteristics because these
devices will be the ones to give the bigger percentage of accesses to the Internet. Regarding this line, Metaio
with Sony Ericsson has developed specific HW to process graphics on future platforms [90]. Definitely
standardization of a 3D compression format (see Table 6) will give a bush to the massive implementation of
Web3D.◄
7. Conclusions
In this paper, AR/MR/VR technologies have been presented with related components, history and tools.
After revising sectors of application, professional profiles, training offers and standards, future of related
research lines have been predicted. All in all, we can assure that these technologies are part of our lives more
than we can imagine. Despite of it and considering a lot of sectors with needs to be covered, there is a
promising future not only for professionals who are beginning development of new projects related with these
technologies, also for those exploiting and implanting applications together with the ones teaching related
knowledge and capabilities. Despite of the investment on training for developing applications based on
AR/MR/VR, the solutions that can be reached are less expensive than solutions proposed before, not only
relating to money, also talking about sustainability. As an illustrative example, augmented books are cheaper to
develop than paper books and there no need of deforestation.
