Open Affordable Mixed Reality: A Manifesto

This article describes the main traits of a proposed Mixed Reality (MR) platform designed to be used by the general public in order to create and share MR experiences. The purpose of this MR Platform is to provide interaction with the Internet of Everything (IoE). We embrace the Ubiquitous computing paradigm, where services follow the user seamlessly across physical locations. An emphasis is made on context awareness, which is central in designing a MR application, by anchoring the right multimodal content to the right circumstance. We aim at providing an architecture which splits awareness into four levels with respect to knowledge representation, in order to provide a tool for non-programmers to design applications.
