FUSION envisions immersive technologies that create hybrid experiences continuously in everyday life. Immersive technologies will fundamentally change how we experience reality and connect with each other. This change presents unresolved challenges for how we will behave, interact, and relate to each other in a possible future where XR is always available. There is a present-future gap in immersive technologies because we do not yet understand how to stabilise interaction in hybrid reality/virtuality. Because individuals can experience materially different realities, interaction can destabilise without shared points of reference. Collisions, gaps, and mismatches between social signals as individuals move across the XR continuum are also a source of instability. To realise the potential of XR to bring us together, we need new models and techniques for enabling stable interactions in XR. FUSION proposes a novel fusion of social signals between individuals and across realities to improve how we interact in XR. This approach will advance our understanding of how people experience hybrid reality/virtuality together, enable new measurements of stability during hybrid interactions, and improve the quality of interaction in XR. FUSION will produce novel models of social signals during hybrid interactions and establish the first measurements of stability and quality for interaction in hybrid reality/virtuality.

Fusion设想了身临其境的技术，在日常生活中不断创造混合体验。沉浸式技术将从根本上改变我们体验现实和相互联系的方式。这一变化为我们在未来XR始终可用的情况下如何行为、互动和相互关系带来了悬而未决的挑战。沉浸式技术存在现在和未来的差距，因为我们还不知道如何在现实/虚拟混合环境中稳定互动。由于个人可以体验到截然不同的现实，如果没有共同的参照点，互动可能会变得不稳定。当个人在XR连续体中移动时，社交信号之间的冲突、差距和不匹配也是不稳定的来源。为了实现XR将我们聚集在一起的潜力，我们需要新的模型和技术来实现XR中的稳定互动。Fusion提出了一种新的融合个人之间和跨现实的社交信号，以改善我们在XR中的互动方式。这种方法将增进我们对人们如何共同体验混合现实/虚拟的理解，使我们能够在混合交互过程中对稳定性进行新的测量，并提高XR中的交互质量。Fusion将在混合交互过程中产生新的社会信号模型，并为混合现实/虚拟交互的稳定性和质量建立第一个测量标准。
