IMRCE - A Unity Toolkit for Virtual Co-Presence

Explore the design, implementation, and evaluation of IMRCE, a Unity toolkit for creating immersive mixed reality collaborative environments, in this 23-minute conference talk from the ACM Symposium on Spatial User Interaction. Learn how IMRCE enables rapid prototyping of mixed reality-mixed presence (MR-MP) environments that connect physical spaces, virtual spaces, and devices. Discover the toolkit's features for maintaining group awareness through visual cues like position indicators and virtual hands, while offering flexibility in mapping physical and virtual spaces. Examine a demonstration linking a physical environment with tabletop and wall displays to a virtual replica, and review the results of a comparative evaluation against standard Unity libraries. Gain insights into IMRCE's potential for significantly reducing development time, code complexity, errors, and the need for assistance in creating MR-MP systems.
