Intelligent Realities For Workers Using Augmented Reality, Virtual Reality and Beyond
to be addressed 12 , they are not unique to
reality applications. Reality applications can
be networked and fit in with a traditional
query-and-reporting
client-server
architecture. As observed in “Immersive
Analytics: Building Virtual Data Worlds for
Collaborative Decision Support”, traditional
2D data visualization can work across the
reality-virtuality continuum. 13
On the UI front, intelligent reality has been
enabled by wearable and portable
computers, including XR HMDs and smart
phones, and high-performance graphics that
can faithfully render realities. While HMDs
represent an important shift in computing,
they are still wearables that may not be
acceptable to many users and use cases. The
following architectural view attempts to de-
emphasize the importance of HMDs in
reality intelligence architecture.
