We evaluate different web technologies, focusing on the balance between accessibility, immersion, scalability, and performance.

Our research explores the potential of multimodal mixed reality (XR) technologies to enhance engagement with the content and stakeholders of the KTS. Through a three-phase process, we identified key stakeholders and their target audiences, selected appropriate XR technologies, and developed initial use cases that integrate web applications, mobile augmented reality (AR), and XR head-mounted displays.
