Composed Scene

A composed scene is produced by a system of sensors, displays, and interfaces that creates a perception of reality where augmentations are integrated into the real world.

In an augmented reality system a composed scene is a manifestation of a real-world environment and one or more rendered digital assets. It does not necessarily involve 3D objects or even visual rendering. The acquisition of the user (or device) ’s current pose is required to align the composed scene to the user’s perspective. Examples of composed scenes with visual rendering (AR in camera view) include a smartphone application that presents a visualisation through the handheld video display, or a webcam-based system where the real object and augmentation are displayed on a PC monitor. Note: A composed scene is different from the terminology used in 3D modeling, where the 3D scene simply describes camera angle and lighting but is often divorced entirely from a real-world environment.
