Mixed Reality

Mixed Reality is another name for Augmented Reality (AR): The method of combining physical and virtual realities as a single reality. At its simplest, AR may involve simple audio cues as you approach a particular location.

More complex AR offers the ability to track a person's head and eye movements, and overlay virtual images on or around physical objects.

In the modern era of VoIP and face to face communication, we are in danger of losing the power of virtual reality in a kind of mixed reality system. For whatever reason: nationality, lisp, burr, mixed gender heritage or simply being half drunk or high at the time, the market for the voice you emit to be synthetic, to be virtual is huge, preserving the integrity of the virtual world, by keeping the purely physical out.






Like most edited collections of articles from authors of mixed backgrounds, what we get is something of a mixed bag.
