2888_WG - Interfacing Cyber and Physical World Working Group

This standard defines the vocabulary, requirements, metrics, data formats and APIs for acquiring information from sensors, enabling definition of interfaces between the cyber world and physical world.

This standard defines the vocabulary, requirements, metrics, data formats and application program interfaces (APIs) for setting up parameters for and communicating with digital objects to provide sequences of synchronization and interaction with physical objects.

This standard defines an architecture required to implement a virtual reality system that can simulate responses to possible disasters in physical spaces, where users can actually move around with six degrees of freedom, for training. This reference architecture includes the physical-to-virtual component that transfers sensor data in the physical space to the virtual world, the virtual-to-virtual component that conveys the data between virtual world objects, and the virtual-to-physical component that transfers the simulated responses in the virtual world to actuators in the physical world.
