It is a concept which bridges the gap between the real and virtual world by various means of audio,visual,graphic or motion sensors. Augmented Reality (AR) aims to augment the real time environment by various virtual means. It differs from Virtual Reality in a way that it does the augmentation in real time in a real world, whereas the latter, serves as a virtualization concept of real life entity into a virtual world. AR takes real object/space as a foundation and adds contextual information to it for better comprehension and understanding.
As the basic idea of AR goes, there exists a need of devices for augmenting the information into our brains, which in turn enable us to perceive the annotations that wouldn't exist otherwise to naked human eye. To implement AR on devices, the examples are a mobile phone, head mounted display (glasses or a visor), heads up display or even a tablet .. By far, the biggest challenge to AR has been the implementation and changes in the information in the real time as the user switches the view in a frequency. Enough of theory, here's an example of AR, I know you'll be very much interested into AR after this! Yes, this is an application built using AR:
No matter how intricate the idea of AR may sound, we all have been encountering it for quite some time now. Shocked?
Here are a few examples :
1: The field setting in cricket, when the commentators use arrows to depict fielding positions, is a part of AR.
2: In Swimming and many other events, the finishing line in real time is depicted using AR.
The main hardware components for augmented reality are:
1: processor 2: display
3: sensors 4: input devices.
These elements, particularly CPU, display, camera and sensors such as accelarometer, GPS are often present in today's phones, which make them the most common AR platforms .
Augmented Reality is all set to be the next big thing in the technological world. Stay updated and keep sharing !!!!
