Definition
Term coined by Steve Mann to describe a mix of virtual information with visual information from the real world.
"Mediated Reality is created when virtual, or computer generated, information is mixed with what what the user would otherwise normally see. Eye Tap is suitable for creating a mediated reality because it is able to absorb, quantify, and resynthesize the light the user would normally see. When the light is resynthesized under computer control, information can be added or removed from the scene before it is presented to the user. The virtual information or light as seen through the display must be properly registered and aligned within the user's field of view. To achieve this, a method of camera-based head-tracking is now described" [1].
