Abstract
This paper offers a mixed reality approach to humanrobot interaction
(HRI) which exploits the fact that robots are both digital and physical
entities. We use mixed reality (MR) to integrate digital interaction into the
physical environment, allowing users to interact with robots' ideas and
thoughts directly within the shared physical interaction space. We also
present a taxonomy which we use to organise and classify the various
interaction techniques that this environment offers. We demonstrate this
environment and taxonomy by detailing two interaction techniques, thought
crumbs and bubblegrams, and to evaluate these techniques, we offer the design
of an implementation prototype.
