Talk:Mixed reality

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Article seems inaccurate

It seems to me that mixed reality is a *generalization* of augmented reality, not a specialization. Also, this article would certainly benefit from an illustration of Milgram's continuum. Dragice 22:12, 25 May 2006 (UTC)

In my experience Augmented reality and Mixed reality are interchangeable terms. Article should be merged with Augmented reality in my opinion [[[User:Serg3d2|Serg3d2]] 14:33, 28 October 2006 (UTC)]

Often Augmented Reality is correctly used interchangeably with Mixed Reality, as that is exactly what the Mixed Reality in question is producing. However Mixed Reality may also be used to describe an Augmented Virtuality environment, and is therefore definitely not always the same thing.

According to Milgram's model, it is obvious that Mixed Reality is more general than Augmented Reality. These terms should certainly **not** be used interchangeably. However, because wikipedia is not a dictionary, it would make sense to merge these two articles. We can also hope one day we'll have a paragraph on augmented virtuality.

(Reply) As we know MR is not AR, so why should they be merged? If anything AR should be merged into MR, as it is a specialisation of MR. But I don't think this would enhance the encyclopaedia in any particular way. MR is not a word, it is a topic, and an encyclopaedia is usually "a reference source containing information on a variety of topics".
