Title
Mixed reality for enhancing business communications using virtual worlds
Abstract
Online virtual worlds are attracting businesses that intend to offer new enterprise class services. Often, these services in virtual worlds are closely linked with the real enterprise resources. For a successful deployment of these services, a mixed reality model with communications that extend the virtual worlds to enterprise resources is required. In this paper, we take a look at this new class of collaborative applications by using a customer service application as an example. We discuss various issues in offering such a service, lay out the requirements, propose an architecture for mixed reality communications, and present our prototype implementation. We believe that this example service can introduce a mixed reality based communication paradigm that is applicable to a wide range of other business or enterprise services.
