To resolve conceptual inconsistencies in reality-modifying terminology and establish an organized classification framework that distinguishes augmented reality from virtual reality.
Synthesized foundational academic literature on reality-modifying and computer-mediated technologies.
Conducted qualitative analyses incorporating expert perspectives and insights from extended reality professionals.
Redefined XR as an open variable ("xReality") rather than extended reality, establishing augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) as fundamentally distinct technological experiences.
Classified AR experiences along a local-presence continuum ranging from assisted reality to mixed reality.
Classified VR experiences along a telepresence continuum ranging from atomistic virtual environments to holistic virtual reality.
