Reality-Virtuality Continuum A reality-virtuality continuum is just another way of describing a virtuality continuum. In other words, a scale of realities, stretching from a pure virtual reality at one end, to a pure physical reality at the other end, with a continuous scale of augmented realities in between. First introduced in 1994, in the paper ?Augmented Reality: A class of displays on the reality-virtuality continuum? by the four authors Paul Milgram, Haruo Takemura, Akira Utsumi, and Fumio Kishino, the concept of a virtuality continuum has become integral to cataloguing various attempts at augmented, virtual and mixed reality.

 The ACME project, perhaps unfortunately named similar to the cartoon company that produces zany inventions, is actually a collaboration between the VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland, IBM Research and Nokia Research. It is a serious attempt at bringing disparate technologies together to form something we have all desired for a long while - an interoperable environment in which physical and virtual mix (almost) seamlessly.

 In myth and legend, a magic symbol is a pattern drawn on a physical object which possesses otherworldly powers; able to alter reality by creating protective circles, summon creatures to do the artist's bidding, or alter the structure of reality itself. Perhaps it is poetic that the same concept is now used as the keystone for augmented reality.
