“…Consequently, to achieve a seamless human-machine interface, the system is built under collaborative VR/AR environments. TransVision [144], remote user's appearance [15], synchronized turntables [150] and SeamlessDesign [94], etc. are some mature VR/AR systems.…”

The MagicBook is a Mixed Reality interface that uses a real book to seamlessly transport users between Reality and Virtuality. A vision-based tracking method is used to overlay virtual models on real book pages, creating an Augmented Reality (AR) scene. When users see an AR scene they are interested in they can fly inside it and experience it as an immersive Virtual Reality (VR). The interface also supports multi-scale collaboration, allowing multiple users to experience the same virtual en vironment either from an egocentric or an exocentric perspective. In this paper we describe the MagicBook prototype, potential applications and user response.

“…Therefore, such HMPD-based shared workspaces allow augmenting a 3D synthetic dataset with physical objects or props that may be deliberately coated with retro-reflective material. This capability differentiates HMPD-based collaborative interfaces from those using traditional HMDs (Billinghurst & Kato, 1999;Billinghurst, Kato, & Poupyrev, 2001;Kiyokawa, Takemura, & Yokoya, 1999). However, it is worth mentioning that one limitation of this one-way occlusion is that virtual objects will erroneously disappear if a virtual object is intentionally floating in front of a non-reflective real object.…”

“…Furthermore, the WIM metaphor is a single-user interface and does not emphasize collaborative aspects among a group of users in a shared space. A multiscale collaborative AR interface by Kiyokawa, Takemura, and Yokoya (1999), called the SeamlessDesign, utilized both virtual and augmented setups for supporting two-user face-to-face collaboration. Each user is able to scale the virtual workspace through a virtual navigation box.…”

“…Hollan and Stornetta (1992) suggest that successful collaborative interfaces should enable users to go "beyond being there" and enhance the collaborative experience, instead of imitating face-toface collaboration. Recent efforts have been made to develop tools and infrastructures to support collaboration in 3D virtual and augmented environments (Dias, Galli, Almeida, Belo, & Rebordao, 1997;Lehner & DeFanti, 1997;Kiyokawa, Takemura, & Yokoya, 1999;Billinghurst & Kato, 1999;Billinghurst, Kato, & Poupyrev, 2001;Bimber, Fröhlich, Schmalstieg, & Encarnacão, 2001;Kitamura, Konishi, Yamamoto, & Kishino, 2001).…”

We have developed a multi-user collaborative infrastructure, SCAPE (an acronym for Stereoscopic Collaboration in Augmented and Projective Environments), which is based on recent advancement in head-mounted projective display (HMPD) technology. SCAPE combines the functionalities of an interactive workbench and a room-sized immersive display to concurrently create both exocentric and egocentric perspectives. SCAPE intuitively provides a shared space in which multiple users can simultaneously interact with a 3D synthetic environment from their individual viewpoints, and each user has concurrent access to the environment from multiple perspectives at multiple scales. SCAPE also creates a platform to merge the traditionally separate paradigms of virtual and augmented realities. In this paper, we discuss the design principles we have followed to conceptualize the SCAPE system and briefly summarize SCAPE's hardware implementation. Furthermore, we discuss in detail the high-level design and implementation of the SCAPE architecture, and present a set of unique widget interfaces currently available in our implementation that enable and facilitate interaction and cooperation. Finally, we demonstrate SCAPE's unique visualization and interface capabilities via a testbed applicationAztec Explorer.
