Abstract
This paper proposes the convergence of sensor networks and
virtual worlds not only as a possible solution to their respective limitations, but also as the beginning of a new creative medium. In such a \dual reality," both real and virtual worlds are complete unto themselves, but also enhanced by the ability to mutually reflect, influence, and merge by means of sensor/actuator networks deeply embedded in everyday environments. This paper describes a full implementation of a dual reality system using a popular online virtual world and a human-
centric sensor network designed around a common electrical power strip.
Example applications (e.g., browsing sensor networks in online virtual
worlds), interaction techniques, and design strategies for the dual reality
domain are demonstrated and discussed.
