Going beyond individual technologies such as Virtual or Augmented Reality, these systems introduce novel approaches that help to solve relevant problems such as the integration of bystanders or physical objects. However, cross-reality systems are complex by nature, and describing the interactions and transitions taking place is a challenging task. Thus, in this paper, we propose the idea of the Actuality-Time Continuum that aims to enable researchers and designers alike to visualize complex cross-reality experiences. Moreover, we present four visualization examples that illustrate the potential of our proposal and conclude with an outlook on future perspectives.}, keywords = {cross-reality systems, actuality-time continuum, visualization, augmented reality, virtual reality, interaction design, transitions, bystander integration, user experience, mixed reality} }
