Abstract
A general concept of interfaces between physical and virtual systems based on a continuity of energy-flow, introduced as hyper-bonds, will be extended. Power (effort ***x flow) can be bi-directionally transferred from the physical energy-level to the virtual signal/information-level and vice versa. In mixed reality systems, using these hyper-bonds, power connections of relevant phenomena can be described by bond graph theory. Two improvements of the hyper-bond concept are presented: 1. the explicit description of both, continuous-time dynamics of real subsystems and discrete-time dynamics of virtual subsystems in bond graphs and 2. the definition of a hyper-bond subsystem in terms of bond graphs and control-block diagrams, which can perform a power connection and conversion of continuous-time/discrete-time signals between real/virtual subsystems. An example of modeling mixed reality systems with energy interfaces (haptic ball manipulator) is demonstrated, showing the potentiality for low cost automation.
