Taking Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality to The Next Level: Artificial Intelligence with Mixed Reality

Abstract

Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) have caused significant excitement, but Mixed reality (MR) offers an authentic experience beyond what they have are imagined and it takes this exciting experience to the next level. MR collides virtual data with natural objects, creating realistic physical and emotional interactions so that digital objects are positioned like natural objects in real environments and positioning takes place in real-time by aligning with real things. With the advent of Metaverse, the reality concepts are being redefined and highlighted by both businesses and academia. Apart from business value and high-tech aspects, Metaverse can include mystical, spiritual, and religious perspectives, as it is defined as a virtual and transitive structure in which we can exist by creating a duplicate of our existence in the physical world and its alternative. Through multidisciplinary analyzes and evaluations in this study, the possibility to provide not only the transition from the physical to the virtual, but also the transition from the virtual to the physical through transferring the data to the physical location, objects, or sensors is questioned.

Sanal Gerçekliği ve Artırılmış Gerçekliği Bir Sonraki Seviyeye Taşımak: Karma Gerçeklik ile Yapay Zeka

Abstract

Sanal gerçeklik (VR) ve artırılmış gerçeklik (AR) önemli bir heyecan vermişti, ancak Karma gerçeklik (MR) hayal ettiklerinin ötesinde otantik bir deneyim sunmakta ve bu heyecan verici deneyimi bir sonraki seviyeye taşımaktadır. MR, sanal verileri doğal nesnelerle denkleştirerek ve gerçekçi fiziksel ve duygusal etkileşimler oluşturarak, dijital nesneler gerçek ortamlarda doğal nesneler gibi konumlandırılmakta ve gerçek nesnelerle hizalanarak gerçek zamanlı olarak gerçekleşme sağlanabilmektedir. Metaverse'in ortaya çıkmasıyla, gerçeklik kavramları hem işletmeler hem de akademi tarafından yeniden tanımlanmakta ve vurgulanmaktadır. Metaverse, fiziksel dünyadaki varlığımızın bir kopyasını ve alternatifini oluşturarak var olabileceğimiz sanal ve geçişli bir yapı olarak tanımlandığından, ticari değer ve yüksek teknoloji yönlerinin yanı sıra mistik, manevi ve dini bakış açıları içerebilir. Bu çalışmada multidisipliner analizler ve değerlendirmeler ile sadece fizikselden sanala geçişin değil, aynı zamanda verilerin fiziksel konuma, nesnelere veya sensörlere aktarılması yoluyla sanaldan fiziksele geçişin sağlanabileceği sorgulanmaktadır.
