REACTION PAPER

The seminar about Augmented Reality was discussed by Engr. Teejay

Jamlang— a Virtual and Augmented Reality Developer at Veer Immersive
Technologies, an Augmented Reality Filter Creator at Facebook and Instagram,
and a Former VRPH Student Ambassador at PUP Sta. Mesa.
Augmented Reality is the result of using technology to superimpose
information— sounds, images, and text — on the world we see. Virtual Reality
means computer-generated environments for you to interact with, and be
immersed in while Augmented Reality, adds to the reality you would ordinarily
see rather than replacing it.
Augmented Reality is often presented as a kind of futuristic technology,
but a form of it has been around for years. For example, the heads-up display
in many fighter aircraft as far back as the 1990s would show information about
the altitude, direction and speed of the plane, and only a few years later they
could show which objects in the field of view were targets.
