System and method for mixed reality

A method comprising:

• obtaining, by a processing circuitry, (a) information of one or more virtual entities located within an area from which readings are acquired by a sensor configured to acquire readings of real-world data, and display, on an output device, a real-world visualization of the real-world data based on the readings to a user, wherein the sensor has one or more parameters affecting the real-world visualization, and wherein the information defining, for each of the virtual entities, one or more simulated physical properties, and (b) values of one or more situational parameters indicative of a state of the sensor during acquisition of the readings, wherein the values of the one or more situational parameters are readings of one or more situational sensors, sensing the state of the sensor and its surroundings during acquisition of the readings;
• determining, by the processing circuitry, for at least one given virtual entity of the virtual entities, a virtual entity visualization of the given virtual entity, the virtual entity visualization determined by manipulating a simulated reading of the simulated physical properties based on (a) the parameters affecting the real-world visualization, and (b) the values of the situational parameters;
• and
• displaying, by the processing circuitry, the virtual entity visualizations in combination with the real-world visualization, thereby enabling a user viewing the output device to view the virtual entity visualizations and the real-world visualization.

A non-transitory computer readable storage medium having computer readable program code embodied therewith, the computer readable program code, executable by at least one processor of a computer to perform a method comprising:

• obtaining, by a processing circuitry, (a) information of one or more virtual entities located within an area from which readings are acquired by a sensor configured to acquire readings of real-world data, and display, on an output device, a real-world visualization of the real-world data based on the readings to a user, wherein the sensor has one or more parameters affecting the real-world visualization, and wherein the information defining, for each of the virtual entities, one or more simulated physical properties, and (b) values of one or more situational parameters indicative of a state of the sensor during acquisition of the readings, wherein the values of the one or more situational parameters are readings of one or more situational sensors, sensing the state of the sensor and its surroundings during acquisition of the readings;
• determining, by the processing circuitry, for at least one given virtual entity of the virtual entities, a virtual entity visualization of the given virtual entity, the virtual entity visualization determined by manipulating a simulated reading of the simulated physical properties based on (a) the parameters affecting the real-world visualization, and (b) the values of the situational parameters;
• and
• displaying, by the processing circuitry, the virtual entity visualizations in combination with the real-world visualization, thereby enabling a user viewing the output device to view the virtual entity visualizations and the real-world visualization.
