Abstract

A concept of mixing distributed real and virtual worlds through a unified human-machine interface connecting logical to physical phenomena will be introduced and shown how this can be used for distributed collaboration in engineering workspaces if two or more physical locations and environments are involved. Relations to control-theory and modeling are presented.
