Augmented reality supplements reality by adding virtual objects to it. An augmented reality system combines real and virtual objects in real time by tracking a user's location and orientation. The key components of an augmented reality system are displays like optical see-through HMDs, tracking and orientation devices like GPS, and portable computers. Challenges include accurate tracking and sufficient computing power. Potential applications include medical, robotics, engineering, and more. While the technology has limitations, augmented reality is an active area of research that could transform fields like manufacturing, education, and communication.

AUGMENTED REALITY
REALITY REINVENTED
By, G.SRAVANI, 07K01A0433, 4/4-ECE INTRODUCTION: • Augmented reality: Increasing reality by adding virtual objects to it.
• Augmented reality adds graphics, sounds, heptics and smell to
the natural world as it exists.
• AR supplements reality, rather than completely replacing it.
• AR is the middle ground of Virtual Environment and
Telepresence. WHY AUGMENTED REALITY?? • What makes augmented reality different is how the information is presented: Not on a separate display but integrated with the user's perceptions.
• The virtual objects display information that the
user cannot directly detect with one’s own senses.
• Uses the computer as a tool to make a task easier
for a human to perform. METHODOLOGY:
An augmented reality system is one that
• Combines real and virtual objects in a real
environment.
• Runs interactively, and in real time.
• Registers real and virtual objects with each other.
IMPLEMENTATION
Find user’s location Generate data
Find user’s orientation (view) Augment generated
data to user’s view COMPONENTS OF AR: The components of an augmented reality system are:
• Display HMD: Optical and Video see-through.
Projection display.
• Tracking and orientation devices: GPS.
• Portable computer: Palm and pocket PCs.
OPTICAL SEE-THROUGH HMD: VIDEO SEE-THROUGH HMD: Head mounted view Tracking & Orientation TRACKING AND ORIENTATION • The biggest challenge facing developers of augmented reality is the need to know where the user is located in reference to his or her surroundings. • There's also the additional problem of tracking the movement of users' eyes and heads.
• AR system needs to know location of the user and
where he is looking. TRACKING AND ORIENTATION • Global Positioning System.
• Accuracy of GPS- about 10 to 30
meters. • Augmented reality needs accuracy measured in millimeters or smaller.
• A method of increasing accuracy is
using multiple GPS signals. • A more accurate system being developed, known as real-time kinematic GPS, can achieve centimeter-level accuracy. GPS Network PORTABLE COMPUTER
• Wearable computers, Palm and pocket PCs.
• A wearable computer is a battery powered computer system
worn on the user’s body(belt, backpack etc).
• It is designed for mobile & predominantly hand free
operations often incorporating head mounted display & speech input. APPLICATIONS: MEDICAL: ROBOTIC PATH PLANNING: APPLICATIONS: ANNOTATION AND ENGINEERING VISUALISATION: DESIGN: LIMITATIONS:
• Accurate tracking and orientation
• For wearable augmented reality system, there are still
enough computing power to create stereo 3D graphics
• The size of AR systems is yet another problem.
FUTURE HOLD: • Aircraft manufacturing. • Combat aircraft with Helmet Mounted Sights with graphics registered to targets in the environment. • Common usage in medical training. • Replacement of cell phones: eye dialing, insertion of information directly into environment. • Virtual conferences in "holodeck" style . • Examples might be a virtual wall clock, a to-do list for the day docked by your bed for you to look at first thing in the morning, etc. CONCLUSION • The research topic "Augmented Reality" (AR) is receiving significant attention due to striking progress in many subfields triggered by the advances in computer miniaturization, speed, and capabilities and fascinating live demonstrations. • AR, by its very nature, is a highly inter-disciplinary field, and AR researchers work in many areas such as signal processing, computer vision, graphics, user interfaces, human factors, etc. • It has many applications and this technology makes human effort lesser up to a large extent. Several areas of research are still unexplored. This makes AR a vibrant field of research for atleast the next several years. QUERIES??? THANK YOU
