Toward a mixed reality domain model for time-Sensitive applications using IoE infrastructure and edge computing (MRIoEF)

Mixed reality (MR) is one of the technologies with many challenges in the design and implementation phases, especially the problems associated with time-sensitive applications. The main objective of this paper is to introduce a conceptual model for MR application that gives MR application a new layer of interactivity by using Internet of things/Internet of everything models, which provide an improved quality of experience for end-users. The model supports the cloud and fog compute layers to give more functionalities that need more processing resources and reduce the latency problems for time-sensitive applications. Validation of the proposed model is performed via demonstrating a prototype of the model applied to a real-time case study and discussing how to enable standard technologies of the various components in the model. Moreover, it shows the applicability of the model, the ease of defining the roles, and the coherence of data or processes found in the most common applications.
