Discussion What is Augmented Reality(AR)? Where it is used? Types of AR Characteristics of AR Hardware needed for AR Augmented reality Applications Advantages and Disadvantages

What is Augmented Reality?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.

MEDICAL APPLICATIONSA research team used Augmented Reality to cope with a 25-year-old woman’s cockroach phobia. Virtual cockroaches were displayed on the woman’s hands. After some sessions, her phobia for cockroaches has been eliminated.

CHARACTERISTICS OF AR

• It combines real and virtual World

• It is interactive in real time

• It is registered in 3D.

HARDWARE NEEDED FOR AR

• Display • Tracking (GPS, compass)• Input devices (Camera)• sensors (accelerometer)• processer (CPU, any operating system or software)

GOOGLE GLASSGoogle Glass is a wearable computer with an optical head mounted display (OHMD). It was developed by Google.

Using Augmented Reality Technology.

BMW Augmented Reality

EarthMine:• Company uses

vehicle mounted camera.

• Capture imagery and three dimensional data.

• Get information from GPS

• intelligent software.

Zugara online shopping

• The Mobile browser allows users to find various items based upon Augmented reality technology.

• Uses GPS, Internet, built in camera, accelerometer, compass

Augmented id

Augmented ID gives the user an ability to identify someone by looking at them through the camera of the phone.

Facial Recognition + Social Networking = Augmented ID

ADVANTAGES OF AR

• AR Improve interaction

• Advances in technology

• Military Trainings which could be less expensive

• Rapid augmentation in tourism.

• Effective in Medical Field.

• Easy to locate desired places.

• A Good way of teaching.

• Increased the learning abilities.

DISADVANTAGES OF AR• Three dimensional, real-time running augmented reality programs like

"first person shooters" have been believed to increase teen aggression because they normalize violence.

• People with special skills can be extremely supported in their everyday life while Augmented Reality is able to ease their pain.

• The lack of privacy.

• Difficult to maintain Augmented Reality Systems.

• Augmented reality is leading to an era of no privacy, where criminals could simply point their phone at victims and learn anything they need to know about them.

• Google Glasses and Augmented ID or any other face detection application effect the privacy of humans.

CONCLUSION• Augmented reality (AR) is a way of delivering entertainment media that

uses computer generated graphics transposed over real-life scenes.

• Create a system such that User CANNOT tell the difference between the real world and the virtual augmentation of it.

• To add information and meaning to a real object or place.

• Use of Medical Application increased and save the life of humans.

• But developers should controls the privacy. People thinks Augmented reality is leading to an era of no privacy, where criminals could simply point their phone at victims and learn anything they need to know about them.
