Like AR, Mixed Reality adds simulated content to the world around you.
Many in the industry use the term to refer to experiences where the computer-rendered content is tracked to the environment, and viewed in an immersive manner, such as with a head-mounted display. The display allows the viewer to see both the physical world and the virtual content at the same time. In this light, MR is a subset of AR, albeit with more immersion than is typical of handheld AR.
Mixed Reality reveals a whole new physical dimension of digital content overlaid on our real world environment. Its an entirely new medium, and so comes with a new set of challenges and opportunities for content creators and end-users alike. At Zappar we build hardware, computer vision software, and creative tools.
