Mixed Reality festivals are emerging for immersive cultural experiences at urban scale. This paper introduces Contextualist Curation at Scale (CCaS), integrating context-aware content recommendation, hierarchical spatial indexing, and edge-cloud hybrid rendering for personalized experiences. A multi-layered validation framework assesses technical, user experience, and cultural impact.
Key findings
CCaS enables personalized MR experiences for thousands of concurrent users.
Novel algorithms maintain O(logn) complexity for dynamic content clustering and context-sensitive delivery.
Edge-cloud hybrid rendering pipeline optimized for outdoor AR occlusion handling and energy-efficient mobile operation.
Validation framework includes technical metrics, user experience measures, and cultural impact indicators.
Limitations & open questions
The paper does not detail specific challenges in heterogeneous urban environments with varying network conditions.
