Physical-virtual window: a social interaction resource for use in XR environments
Resumo
In immersive environments such as the metaverse, user interaction with the virtual space has been shown to increase engagement and a sense of belonging to the experience. By integrating a window from the physical world into the digital environment, not only are the means of interaction amplified, but a dynamic connection between multiple realities is also created, allowing them to intersect through this resource. In this paper, we propose the creation of a window that transmits spatial audio and video from the physical environment to a space in the metaverse and vice-versa. We also analyze the initial user perception and the limitations imposed by current technology.
