A Fusion Model: Towards a Virtual, Physical and Cognitive Integration
and its Principles
Abstract
Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), Mixed Reality (MR),
digital twin, Metaverse and other related digital technologies have
attracted much attention in recent years. These new emerging
technologies are changing the world significantly. This research
introduces a fusion model, i.e. Fusion Universe (FU), where the virtual,
physical, and cognitive worlds are merged together. Therefore, it is
crucial to establish a set of principles for the fusion model that is
compatible with our physical universe laws and principles. This paper
investigates several aspects that could affect immersive and interactive
experience; and proposes the fundamental principles for Fusion Universe
that can integrate physical and virtual world seamlessly.
