Mixed Reality

Mixed reality (MR) seamlessly blends real and virtual worlds, aiming to enhance human-computer interaction and improve task performance across diverse fields. Current research heavily focuses on developing robust MR interfaces for applications like robotic surgery, manufacturing, and training, often employing computer vision techniques (e.g., 3D pose estimation, object tracking) and machine learning models (e.g., neural networks, large language models) to achieve real-time interaction and accurate environmental understanding. This interdisciplinary field is significantly impacting various sectors by improving efficiency, safety, and accessibility in tasks ranging from complex surgical procedures to collaborative robot control. The development of open-source platforms and datasets is accelerating progress and fostering collaboration within the research community.
