Communication between outdoor field and immersive virtual environment

Abstract

This paper proposes the concept of the hybrid information space that integrates the information space seamlessly between the real world and the virtual world, and the prototype system was developed. In this system, the users can communicate with each other between the real world and the virtual world or they can achieve their work while going and coming between both worlds. This system was applied to relive travel experiences and to assist campus navigation, and the effectiveness of this system was evaluated.
