Abstract

XRs are said to be key drivers for the context-based interaction paradigm and hence will significantly change daily life communication. To efficiently use these technologies for different application areas, it is necessary to understand the underlying fundamentals and characteristics of XRs. This further requires to fully identify existing potentials and limitations. Within this work, the meaning of the term XR is explained by pointing out underlying principles, filtering relevant quality measures, and elaborating important characteristics of corresponding environments. These empirical findings are used to highlight current limitations and future challenges in the area of elite sports as an extreme environment. Furthermore, design considerations and implications are proposed for creating efficient immersive XRs in this area. Finally, a strategic vision for XR in elite sports is presented, by showing long-term potentials and suggesting a research agenda for the field.
