At this year&#8217;s ACM CHI Conference on Human Factors in Computing Systems (CHI 2026) in Barcelona, researchers presented a foundational framework to bring clarity and structure to this emerging field.<\/b><\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"4\">The paper, titled <b data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"18\">&#8220;Mixed Presence in Mixed Reality: Charting the Challenges and Opportunities&#8221;<\/b>, was co-authored by <b data-path-to-node=\"4\" data-index-in-node=\"115\">Katja Krug, Wolfgang B\u00fcschel, Marc Satkowski, Stefan Gumhold, and Raimund Dachselt<\/b>. The team representing the Interactive Media Lab Dresden (Technische Universit\u00e4t Dresden) and the Cluster of Excellence CeTI tackled the systemic challenges of combining local and remote multi-user environments.<\/p>\n<h4 data-path-to-node=\"5\">The Problem: Fragmented Solutions in a Complex Space<\/h4>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"6\">Developing Mixed Presence (MP) systems involves merging the intricacies of both co-located and distributed Mixed Reality. While the literature offers promising individual designs, the research landscape has remained highly fragmented. Developers and researchers often face the same re-occurring hurdles without a systematic overview or standardized guidance, leading to &#8220;one-off&#8221; solutions.<\/p>\n<h4 data-path-to-node=\"7\">Research Highlights: Navigating the Challenges<\/h4>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"8\">To move beyond isolated solutions and establish a common ground, the research team implemented a multi-stage approach:<\/p>\n<ul data-path-to-node=\"9\">\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"9,0,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Comprehensive Review:<\/b> The authors conducted a detailed review of current mixed-presence and multi-user remote MR systems to identify the status quo of the technology.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"9,1,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"9,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Systematic Categorization:<\/b> The team organized and mapped prevalent development challenges, emerging trends, common use cases, and research methodologies.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"9,2,0\"><b data-path-to-node=\"9,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\">Expert Ideation Workshop:<\/b> Building on these findings, they hosted an expert workshop to map out promising future research directions and collaboratively address open questions.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 data-path-to-node=\"10\">The Result: A GPS for the MR Community<\/h4>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"11\">The outcome of this work is a comprehensive, structured resource that serves as a &#8220;GPS&#8221; for developers and researchers. By providing a clear navigation tool, the paper helps the Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) community bypass common design pitfalls and make highly informed decisions for the next generation of multi-user MR studies. This systematic progress brings us yet another step closer to the seamless, shared digital workspaces of the Tactile Internet.<\/p>\n<p data-path-to-node=\"14\">The full conference paper from CHI 2026 is available open-access.
