Real and virtual worlds linkage through Cloud-Mobile Convergence

In this paper, we introduce real and virtual worlds linkage through Cloud-Mobile Convergence for Virtual Reality (CMCVR). First of all, we consider opportunities and requirements for dual (i.e., real and virtual) worlds linkage through CMCVR. Then, we present an implementation of an object-based linkage module prototype on a mobile phone, evaluation results of obtained 3D points normalization, and applications. Through the prototype, we derive and discuss what is necessary for releasing the initial point assumption. Following to these steps, we have confirmed possibilities of such dual worlds linkage to play a vital role in bridging objects and content in CMCVR.
