Augmentiverse reference / Technologies
Extended reality
A shared vocabulary for AR, MR and VR.
Overview
XR is an umbrella term encompassing a range of augmented, mixed and virtual experiences. It groups related interfaces and hardware without prescribing one relationship between the digital and physical worlds.
Complementary Role in the framework
Role in the Augmentiverse
The Augmentiverse draws on XR infrastructure while making a more specific architectural commitment to AR-first, persistent and interoperable experiences.
How it works
XR is a category rather than a single algorithm. Runtime interfaces expose tracking, views, input and session lifecycle to applications across different kinds of devices.
Core components
- Experience taxonomy
- Runtime interfaces
- Device capabilities
- Interaction conventions
What it enables
- A common vocabulary across research and engineering.
- Shared APIs can reduce duplicated integration work.
Where it is useful
- Cross-device application architecture
- Research and standards classification
Limits and implementation choices
- The label does not guarantee AR support or hardware compatibility.
- XR alone specifies neither persistence nor identity portability.
