What is Augmented Reality?
Augmented reality is the technology that expands our physical world, adding layers of digital information onto it. Unlike Virtual Reality (VR), AR does not create the whole artificial environments to replace real with a virtual one. AR appears in direct view of an existing environment and adds sounds, videos, graphics to it.
How does Augmented Reality work
What is Augmented Reality for many of us implies a technical side, i.e. how does AR work? For AR a certain range of data (images, animations, videos, 3D models) may be used and people will see the result in both natural and synthetic light. Also, users are aware of being in the real world which is advanced by computer vision, unlike in VR.
AR can be displayed on various devices: screens, glasses, handheld devices, mobile phones, head-mounted displays. It involves technologies like S.L.A.M. (simultaneous localization and mapping), depth tracking (briefly, a sensor data calculating the distance to the objects), and the following components:
Possible applications of AR
• Augmented reality may complement our everyday activities in various ways. For instance, one of the most popular applications of AR is gaming. New AR games provide much better experiences to players, some even promote a more active outgoing way of life ( PokemonGo, Ingress). Gaming grounds are being moved from virtual spheres to real life, and players actually perform certain activities. For instance, a simple gym activity for kids by the Canadian company SAGA, where to crack cubes moving on wall children hit it with a ball.
• AR in retail: may act to bring better customer engagement and retention, as well as brand awareness and more sales. Some features may also help customers make wiser purchases – providing product data with 3D models of any size or color. Real-estate can also benefit from Augmented Reality via 3D tours of apartments and houses that can also be manipulated to amend some parts. Other potential areas for AR include:
• Education: interactive models for learning and training purposes, from mathematics to chemistry.
• Medicine/healthcare: to help diagnose, monitor, train, localize, etc.
• Art: installations / visual arts / music.
• Tourism: data on destinations, sightseeing objects, navigation, and directions.
• Broadcasting: enhancing live events and event streaming by overlaying content.
• Industrial design: to visualize, calculate or model.
