If there is a game where I get to play as Katniss Everdeen from Hunger Game, I wish it would be one that allows me to shoot virtual enemies with a bow. No, I don’t mean in a VR game where I have to use a controller. I want to use a real bow. I also want to be headset-free so I can perform all those perfect stunts.<\/p>\n

But that would require an environment that has projections of virtual enemies, as well as a bow that does not actually shoot real arrows – or else I would end up destroying everything.<\/p>\n

Oh yes, this is mixed reality (MR) I am talking about.<\/p>\n

VR is immersing a user in a\u00a0complete\u00a0virtual world with interactive virtual objects. AR is having un-interactive virtual input in the real world. MR, on the other hand, is a completely different concept. MR is interacting with virtual objects in the real world. In short, virtuality and reality are blended together.<\/p>\n

Japanese VR\/AR\/MR hardware developer CENOTE Inc. has made my dream come true. They have made an electric bow that fires virtual arrows to kill virtual enemies. Thank to this wonderful invention, I was lucky to act like Katniss Everdeen for once at their booth during Taipei Game Show.<\/p>\n
