Keywords: Ubiquitous Tracking

Abstract

The PRESENCCIA project undertakes a research programme that has as its major goal the delivery of presence in wide area distributed mixted reality environments. The environment will include a physical installation that people can visit both physically and virtually. The installation will be the embodiment of an artificial intelligent entity that understands and learns from its interaction with people. People who inhabit the installation will at any one time be physically there, virtually there but remote, or entirely virtual beings with their own goals and capabilities for interacting with one another and with embodiments of real people. The Augmented Reality Group (FAR) is participating in work package 7, providing a reality model for the inhabited mixed environment. This is a continuation of our work on Ubiquitous Tracking systems.
