What is Augmented Reality or AR ?
A live direct or indirect view of a physical, real-world
environment whose elements are augmented by
computer-generated sensory input, such as sound or
graphics or GPS. As a result, the technology functions
by enhancing one’s current perception of reality.
What is Augmented Reality or AR ?
• AR can maintain the high-level of detail and realistic shading
that one finds in the real world.
• A combination of
– a real scene viewed by a user and
– a virtual scene generated by a computer that augments
the scene with additional information.
What is Virtual Reality or VR???
Computer-simulated environments that can simulate physical
presence in places in the real world, as well as in imaginary
worlds.
Virtual reality replaces the real world with a simulated one.
AR vs VR
VR: the user is completely immersed in an artificial world and becomes divorced
from the real environment. The generated world consists entirely of computer
graphics.
an AR system is augmenting the real world sense of presence in that world. The
virtual images are merged with the real view to create the augmented display.
A main motivation for the use of AR relates to the computational resources
necessary to generate and update computer-generated scene. In VR, The more
complex the scene, the more computational resource needed to render the scene.
Type Of AR
Monitor Based
Laptops
Cell phones
Projectors (more Ubiquitous Computing)
Head Mounted Displays:
Video see-through
Optical see-through
Monitor Based AR• Simplest available
• Treat laptop/PDA/ cell
phone as a window through
which you can see AR world.
• Sunglasses demo
•Video Games
•Physical interactions with 3D models
•Television
•You will be able to watch TV in 3D any where
•Theme Park
•Rides can now be even more realistic
•Offsides in Football
The military has been using display in
cockpits that present information to
the pilot on the windshield of the
cockpit or the visor of their flight
helmet. This is a form fo AR display.
