People seeking to feel fully immersed in virtual environments will soon be able to experience a revolutionary approach to spatial computing that bridges the gap between real and digital worlds. A collaborative research team from NTT DOCOMO, Inc. and Nara Institute of Science and Technology (NAIST), Japan, has developed a novel mixed reality (MR) technology that transforms how users interact with virtual spaces by using everyday real-world doors as natural transition points.
Virtual reality (VR) and MR technologies have long faced a critical challenge—creating a truly immersive experience that feels natural and intuitive. Existing spatial computing applications in VR and MR typically use artificial barriers or abrupt transitions between real and virtual spaces, breaking user immersion and creating a disjointed experience.
To this end, the research team, led by Dr. Daiki Hagimori from NTT DOCOMO, Inc., and Professor Kiyoshi Kiyokawa from NAIST, developed a solution to address this problem.
