VR & AR ARE COMPLEMENTARY TECHNOLOGIES
MATURITY OF DEVICES AND SOFTWARE SOLUTIONS REMAINS QUITE DIFFERENT SO FAR
DIFFERENT USES FOR DIFFERENT NEEDS
DIFFERENT ACQUISITION AND MAINTENANCE COSTS
EASE OF USE AND DEPLOYMENT TO ADAPT ACCORDING TO THE TARGET USER
MORE COMPLICATED TO ENSURE COMPATIBILITY FOR AR MOBILE SOLUTIONS

IMPROVEMENTS
HMD OPTICAL SEE-THROUGH WIRELESS
• FOV (field of view) – HORIZONTAL & VERTICAL
• Size & weight
• Battery Autonomy
• Resolution & 3D model number of polygons
• Contrast & brightness (exterior use)
• Costs
DIGITAL CONTENT / USE CASES AND SIMULATIONS SOFTWARE
• Automation process from authoring software to end user solution
• Conservation of texturing and rendering information between different software
• Accuracy when “virtual / real” overlay is needed without a long time of system calibration
• Association of a 3D object to a physical object and tracking movements without markers
• Accuracy on occultation and collision interaction between “virtual and real objects”
• Costs and time to produce content for AR purpose
