2. What is Augmented Reality?
Augmented Reality abbreviated as AR is a combination of real scene viewed
by a user and a virtual scene generated by a computer that augments the
scene with additional information.

3. Origin of Augmented Reality
❖ Augmented reality technology was invented in 1968, with Ivan
Sutherland’s development of the first head-mounted display system.
❖ The term ‘augmented reality’ was coined in 1990 by Tim Caudell.

4. What is the Goal of AR?
The ultimate goal of AR is to
create a system such that a user
cannot tell the difference
between the real world and
virtual augmentation of it.

5. How does Augmented Reality works?
1. It picks the real world scene.
2. Adds virtual objects to it.
3. Delete some real world objects.

6. Types of Display
1. Head-Mounted Display
A head/helmet mounted display
abbreviated as HMD, is a display
device, worn on head or as a part of
helmet, that has a small display optic in
front of one or both eyes.
2. Eye Glasses
Eye wear that employs cameras to
intercept the real world and re-display
its augmented view through eye
pieces.

7. Types of Display
3. Handheld
❖ It is a small, portable
display that fits in user’s
hand.
❖ It has distorting effect.
4. Spatial
❖ It makes use of digital
projectors to display.
❖ User is not required to
wear the display devices.

8. Applications of AR
1. Medical Training
Students can learn anatomy utilizing
an AR headset allowing them to
delve into the human body in an
interactive 3D format.
2. Engineering Design
Use of headsets enables architects,
engineers, and design professionals
step directly into their buildings and
spaces to see how their designs might
look, and even make virtual on the spot
changes.

9. Applications of AR
3. Education
Through augmented reality (AR),
educators are able to improve learning
outcomes through increased
engagement and interactivity.
4. Repair and Maintenance
Augmented Reality allows users to
gain any/all information on an
asset or step by step instructions on
how to repair an asset.

10. Applications of AR
5. Navigation
AR can augment the effectiveness of navigation
devices. Information can be displayed on an
automobile's windshield indicating destination
directions and meter, weather, terrain, road
conditions and traffic information as well as alerts
to potential hazards in their path.
6. Military Training
In combat, AR can serve as a networked
communication system that renders useful
battlefield data onto a soldier's goggles in real
time. From the soldier's viewpoint, people and
various objects can be marked with special
indicators to warn of potential dangers.

11. Applications of AR
7. Video Games
The gaming industry embraced AR
technology. Augmented reality allowed
video game players to experience
digital game play in a real-world
environment.
8. Industrial Design
AR allows industrial designers to
experience a product's design and
operation before completion. AR has
been used to visualize and modify car
body structure and engine layout.

12. Conclusion
❖ Augmented Reality is a new approach to user interface
❖ It is a new way of interacting with UI
❖ Has the possibility being used in our daily life in future
