2. What is Augmented Reality (AR)?
An integration of
digital information
with live video or the
user's environment
in real time.
3. Created in 3D augmented reality
programs such as D’Fusion,
Unifeye Viewer or FLARToolkit.
Allows the developer to tie the
digital information in the software
to an Augmented Reality
“MARKER” in the real world.
The Key to Augmented Reality is Software
4. Augmented Reality VS Virtual Reality
Augmented Reality
● System augments the real world
● User maintains a sense of
presence in the real world
● Needs a mechanism to combine
virtual and real worlds
● Hard to differentiate between
real and virtual
Virtual Reality
● Total immersive environment
● Senses are under control of
system
● Need a mechanism to feed
virtual world to user
● Hard to make VR world
interesting
5. Integrating the Real & Virtual Worlds
The ambitious goal of AR is to create the sensation
that virtual objects are present in the real world.
6. The Importance of GPS in Augmented Reality
Global Positioning System (GPS)
pinpoints the user’s location & it’
s compass to detect device
orientation.
Military training program may
include machine vision, object
recognition & gesture
recognition technologies.
18. It’s Just the Beginning....
We have only scratched the
surface, of what we have
been able to achieve from
Augmented Reality, but it’s
very important to know, how
far we have come & how far
we can go...
