“…For example, mixed-reality work like Milgram and Kishino's virtuality continuum (Milgram and Kishino, 1994), tangible computing work such as Sharlin et al's consideration of input-/output-space coupling (Sharlin et al, 2004), or even by concepts such as Dourish's "embodied interaction," where the meaning of interaction (and how interaction itself develops meaning) is considered within the tangible and social real-world context (Dourish, 2001). Our approach on mixed reality shows how work such as this can be brought together under a common conceptual foundation.…”

Abstract. Mixed reality, as an approach in human-computer interaction, is often implicitly tied to particular implementation techniques (e.g., see-through device) and modalities (e.g., visual, graphical displays). In this paper we attempt to clarify the definition of mixed reality as a more abstract concept of combining the real and virtual worlds -that is, mixed reality is not a given technology but a concept that considers how the virtual and real worlds can be combined. Further, we use this discussion to posit robots as mixed-reality devices, and present a set of implications and questions for what this implies for mixed-reality interaction with robots.

“…Each prop has a unique virtual effect that can be activated using the prop's perceived physical affordance [7,10]. The effect will automatically be directed at the other player, who has a chance to block the attack with their own prop.…”

Computer games have become increasingly cooperative social activities that are often being played with several collocated gamers, frequently in front of spectators who react and participate in the gameplay experience. Physical controllers are enriching the gaming interface by allowing players to use their bodies to control the game. We highlight another gameplay theme: in-game authorship of content, the ability to create new expressive content as part of the gameplay.We propose a new design framework for cooperative games that encompasses these three themes: social engagement between players, expressive physical interaction within the game environment, and in-game creation and authoring of sharable content. These elements may be combined in various ways, and we propose prototypes for three games based on these themes: a comic strip game, a movie karaoke game, and a virtual competition game.

“…According to Sharlin et al (2004), "a good physical tool enables users to perform pragmatic, goal-oriented activity as well as trial-and-error activity [or epistemic actions] and ensures that the cost of speculative exploration of the task space is low" (p. 6). According to Fitzmaurice (1996), epistemic 6 can support a user's cognition by (1) reducing the memory load involved in mental computation, (2) reducing the number of steps in mental computation, and (3) reducing the probability of error of mental computation.…”

“…A pragmatic action is strictly the action needed to perform this task. Epistemic action is sometimes also called "trialand-error" (Sharlin, Watson, Kitamura, Kishino, & Itoh, 2004) or "exploratory motor activity." Kirsh and Maglio (1992) illustrated epistemic action with the example of how players of the computer game Tetris rapidly rotate falling bricks instead of mentally determining the correct position for a brick and then rotating it to that position.…”
