Alice´s adventures in an immersive mixed reality environment

Immersive mixed reality environments offer new possibilities to reproduce reality or embodied presence with constructing elaborate fantasy worlds and provide to the user an intense and seemingly real experience. Mixed reality gives possibilities to create deeply dimensional narratives and simulations that put the user in the center of the action. In this work we describe an interactive mixed reality installation named Alice, consisting of six separate stages based on the narrative “Alice´s Adventures in Wonderland”. To be able to achieve the intended experience we have to build complex and heterogeneous distributed system, composed of sensors, actuators, virtual reality, application components and variety of processing components that manage the flow of context information between the sensors/actuators and applications.
