Mixed Reality
From BC$ MobileTV Wiki
Mixed Reality (commonly abbreviated MR) is the merging of real and virtual objects and experiences to produce new environments and visualisations where physical and digital objects co-exist and interact in real time. MR experiences do not take place only in the physical world or the virtual world, but a mix of reality and virtual reality, encompassing augmented reality and augmented virtuality.
