Abstract

The growing sector of Extended Reality (XR), comprising Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), and Mixed Reality (MR), requires successful approaches for localization and mapping. Simultaneous Localization and Mapping (SLAM) has gained more importance in XR uses. This research conducts an in-depth bibliometric examination of the utilization of SLAM in XR settings, analyzing publications from the last ten years. We investigate the developing trends, fields of knowledge, prominent contributors, and important publications that have influenced this intersection. Our study indicates a notable increase in research on incorporating SLAM in XR, especially in fields such as gaming, architectural visualization, and remote collaboration. A study of the region highlights North America and the Asia-Pacific as key players in this field of research. The research also discusses the difficulties involved in integrating SLAM into XR, such as handling the computational requirements, guaranteeing real-time processing, and accomplishing successful sensor fusion. This paper strives to provide a thorough overview of the current status of SLAM in XR, pinpointing gaps that already exist and suggesting directions for further research. These observations aim to help researchers, developers, and industry professionals who want to use SLAM's capabilities in the quickly changing XR field.
