Enriching Mixed Reality Systems with Mobile Applications.

Mixed reality systems immerse users into environments where reality is bridged with virtual worlds. The proliferation of augmented reality compatible devices constitutes a useful means to overcome application limitations. The research presented in this paper focuses on the enhancement of mixed reality environments using mobile applications by altering the virtual parts of mixed reality environments, enriching application functionality, promoting social interaction and facilitating user-generated storytelling authoring and narration. The presented ongoing work builds upon a green screen mixed reality application which can be used in combination with one or more augmented reality application instances, showcasing the benefits of employing mobile augmented reality applications to complement MR systems.
