# BlendMR: A Computational Method To Create Ambient Mixed Reality Interfaces ## Overview **Authors:** Violet Han, Hyunsung Cho, Kiyosu Maeda, Alexandra Ion, David Lindlbauer **Publication Date:** 1 January 2023 **Link:** **Keywords:** AR / VR / XR, Context-Aware Computing, diminished, semantic segmentation, Mixed Reality (MR), Virtual Content, Digital Information, Clutter, Distraction, BlendMR, ambient display, user environment **Type:** Peer-Reviewed Journals/White Papers ## Summary Mixed Reality (MR) systems display content freely in space, and present nearly arbitrary amounts of information, enabling ubiquitous access to digital information. This approach, however, introduces clutter and distraction if too much virtual content is shown. We present BlendMR, an optimization-based MR system that blends virtual content onto the physical objects in users' environments for ambient information display. --- # Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question. Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter: ``` GET https://library.xrguild.org/current-peer-reviewed-immersive-technologies/blendmr-a-computational-method-to-create-ambient-mixed-reality-interfaces.md?ask= ``` The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
