Study Notes
What is Augmented Reality?
Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that superimposes digital information and images onto the real world using a device's camera and display.
Key Features:
- Overlays virtual objects, sounds, or other sensory inputs onto real-world environments
- Uses a device's camera to display digital information in real-time
- Enhances real-world experiences by providing additional information or interactive elements
Applications:
- Gaming: Pokémon Go, Harry Potter: Wizards Unite
- Education: Interactive textbooks, 3D models of historical sites
- Retail: Virtual product demonstrations, try-before-you-buy experiences
- Healthcare: Training for medical professionals, patient education
- Industrial: Remote guidance, quality control, and maintenance
Types of Augmented Reality:
- Marker-based AR: Uses a physical marker (e.g. QR code) to trigger AR experiences
- Markerless AR: Uses GPS, accelerometer, and compass to determine device location and orientation
- Superimposition-based AR: Overlays digital information onto real-world objects
- Projection-based AR: Projects digital information onto a physical surface
Devices and Technologies:
- Smart Glasses: Microsoft HoloLens, Vuzix Blade
- Mobile Devices: Smartphones and tablets with AR capabilities
- Head-Mounted Displays (HMDs): Oculus Quest, HTC Vive
- Computer Vision: Enables devices to recognize and track objects in real-time
Benefits:
- Enhanced Engagement: Interactive experiences increase user engagement
- Improved Learning: Interactive and immersive learning experiences
- Increased Efficiency: Remote guidance and quality control in industrial settings
- Cost Savings: Reduced costs associated with product demonstrations and training
