than replacing it.
• It is like a “Middle Ground” between Virtual
Environment and Real Environment.
3. What is AR ?
It has the following three characteristics.
• Combines real and virtual.
• Interactive in real time.
• Registered in 3d.
5. Implementation
Software:
• Uses optical or video technologies to accomplish
augmentation.
• Merges real world images and virtual 3d images.
• Image Registration
6. Applications
1. Medical
2. Manufacturing and Repair
3. Annotation and Visualization
4. Robot Path Planning
5. Entertainment

15. Disadvantages:-
•Specific hardware and special programs are
required.
•The cost of the software and equipment is high.
•The capture system may have specific
requirements for the space it is operated in.
16. Conclusion
• AR is relatively new field and far behind VR in
maturity.
• AR is a costly development in technology.
• AR has great future as it promises better
interaction with real and virtual world.
