Merged reality systems: Bringing together automation and tracking through immersive geospatial connected environments

Network speeds, wireless communications and rapid graphic processors now allow the collection and rendering of information in ways previously not possible. Together with this, convergence of many sources of disparate events, including tracking over geospatial domains and interaction with sensors, allow for processing of real time data which can be communicated between both real and virtual worlds. This paper presents a system which allows agents in both of these spheres to be brought together seamlessly for the sharing and manipulation of information streams, leading to actions which are reflected in virtual and real world devices.
