Introduction

• Augmented Reality is different from Virtual

Reality.

• Augmented Reality supplements reality, rather

than replacing it.

• It is like a “Middle Ground” between Virtual

Environment and Real Environment.
What is AR ?

It has the following three characteristics.

• Combines real and virtual.

• Interactive in real time.

• Registered in 3d.
Motivation

• Enhances user perception.

• Display information that user cant detect with his

own senses.

• Intelligence Amplification
Implementation

Hardware Requirements for AR include :

• Display

• Tracking

• Input Devices

• Computer
Implementation

Software:

• Uses optical or video technologies to accomplish

augmentation.

• Merges real world images and virtual 3d images.

• Image Registration
Applications

1. Medical

2. Manufacturing and Repair

3. Annotation and Visualization

4. Robot Path Planning

5. Entertainment
Applications : Medical and Design

Conclusion

• AR is relatively new field and far behind VR in

maturity.

• AR is a costly development in technology.

• AR has great future as it promises better

interaction with real and virtual world.
