Developing a ReSTful mixed reality web service platform

This paper discusses the development of a ReSTful Web Service platform for serving Mixed Reality content at Nokia Research Center. The paper gives an overview of the Mixed Reality domain, the requirements for the platform and its implementation. We further outline a method for developing resource oriented web services, beginning with high-level requirements, formalizing them as UML models and refining them to a ReSTful API specification. The approach is demonstrated with detailed examples of designing one particular API subset for Mixed Reality annotations.
