What is ISO/IEC 18038 about?
ISO/IEC 18038 is an International Standard on computer graphics, image processing and environmental data representation that enhances the ability to understand information perceive trends, and visualize real or imaginary objects either moving or stationary in a realistic environment. ISO/IEC 18038 specifies the framework and the information reference model for representing sensor-based 3D mixed-reality worlds. It defines concepts, an information model, architecture, system functions, and how to integrate 3D virtual worlds and physical sensors in order to provide mixed-reality applications with physical sensor interfaces.
ISO/IEC 18038 specifies the following functionalities:
- Representation of physical sensors in a 3D scene
- Definition of physical sensors in a 3D scene
- Representation of functionalities of each physical sensor in a 3D scene
- Representation of physical properties of each physical sensor in a 3D scene
- Management of physical sensors in a 3D scene
- Interface with physical sensor information in a 3D scene
ISO/IEC 18038 defines an exchange format necessary for transferring and storing data between physical sensor-based mixed-reality applications.
Note: ISO/IEC 18038 does not define specific physical interfaces necessary for manipulating physical devices, but rather defines common functional interfaces that can be used interchangeably between applications. Also, ISO/IEC 18038 does not include computer-generated sensor information using computer input/output devices such as a mouse or a keyboard.
