What is Augmented Reality Augmented Reality is the technology that expands our physical world.
Adding layers of digital information onto it unlike virtual reality the R E R which stands for augmented
reality does not create the whole artificial environments to place real with a virtual one.
It appears in direct view of an existing environment and ad sounds.
Videos graphics it a view of the physical real world environment with super imposed computer generated
images thus changing the perception of reality in the are the term itself was coined back in 1990 and
one of the first commercial uses were in television and military.
With the rise of the internet and smartphones they are rolled out its second wave and nowadays is mostly
related to the interactive concept three models three or 50 models are directly projected onto physical
things or fused together in real time versus augmented reality ABS impact our habits social life and
the entertainment industry are ABS typically Kinect digital animation to a special marker or with the
help of CBS US informs pinpoint the location augmentation is happening in real time and within the context
of the environment.
For example overlaying scores to arrive feed sport events.
Next we are going to talk about different types of augmented reality.
But for now what you need to know about augmented reality is that it is a technique that help implement
images videos and text on a graphical device such as a laptop mobile phone or a computer and helps project
things on location using dubious or different smart cars just like these two images.
As you can see what you see in this device isn't really available in the actual life inside the factory.
You are seeing a barcode and a device description.
This exists only on this device screen while in the real life there is only these metallic hands for
the robot.
Same thing here.
As you can see here we have a white paper.
And here we have a sign.
Now what we see on our phone is a house and you if you did move around this image you will see different
views of the House from side and top view.
And this is used by engineers to view all details of their 3D design from 360 Angeles.
So as you can see it has a lot of applications and you are going to have all these in the next lessons
or in the coming lessons.
But for now you need to know just that these are this is augmented reality and this is the difference
between it and the virtual reality thing.
And I'm sure that using the knowledge that we provide in this course we are going to view augmented
reality objects new mobile or laptop in no time.
Thanks for watching this lesson.
