@keiichiban We call it theming or skinning. Not convinced it needs another word.

but! theming or skinning doesn't typically imply adding new functionality. Prize to the first person who implicates semiotic theory.
-
We make tools for interactive apps, so in our world, it’s implied. ;)
-
I'd say a mirrorworld is skin + assets + rules + permissions. Once you get the basic premise, it can be more useful to think about it like a preset.

As far as catch-alls go, an early favorite of mine was extended reality. But now I'm less interested in specific terms and more interested in this persistent struggle to properly define what we're doing.
-
I know some people regard the entire effort as an irritating sideshow. To the extent that unsettled language is a barrier to mainstream adoption, they've got a point. But I think this view underestimates how important language really is.
-
When Antoine Lavoisier was establishing the foundations of modern chemistry, he knows how central language was to the entire enterprise.
-
He observed that it's impossible to improve your understanding of something without developing the language you use to describe it. Conversely, having better developed language makes the discovery of new ideas inevitable.
-
Language is like Lego for science. You can do much more given a greater variety of bricks. In terms of our current situation, it's like we're struggling to describe elemental phenomena in terms of earth, water, air, and fire when the thing we really need is the periodic table.
-
I remember a choice quote from Ken Perlin (who might have gotten it somewhere else), saying something along the lines of, "language is the superpower of humans"

It's the Ur-art, the sine qua non

We used to call these kinds of things "mixed reality" before Microsoft has hijacked the term. Also Krueger's "artificial reality" term may apply, he was exploring very similar concepts with real environments vs artificial objects in them.
-
I would even hazard a guess that one could possibly pigeon-hole the Mirrorworlds demo into the "augmented virtuality" box - a rare example of virtual environment being augmented by the physical world. It has been done before. Still falls under the "mixed reality" umbrella, though
-
Yes to AV, I think this area of the continuum is under-explored! I suppose I'm calling for a design approach that recognises the whole spectrum.
-
Yes, definitely, it is quite rare to see applications on that end of the spectrum. I think the issue is that apart from art, where you can do anything, it is tricky to find practical uses - it is not at all obvious where it could be useful (and couldn't be done by other means).
-
AR/VR is the low hanging fruit because the real-life applications are obvious and well explored. Here it is not all that clear - I have only seen stuff like "VR videoconferencing" where video-based avatars were injected into a virtual conf. room.
-
I think that still no-one knows what the real-life applications for AR/VR are
-
I think you are wrong otherwise e.g. our company wouldn't be developing & selling them for 10 years now (and we aren't alone). However, that is business stuff - training, maintenance, therapy, visualization. There the benefits are clear and easy to explain to the client.
-
Those VR/AR application types have been around for decades and literally are the first thing anyone doing VR/AR starts from (the low hanging fruit). Lot of people make the mistake not realizing that VR/AR has been used professionally since the 1970s and there are many apps around
