This document provides an overview of augmented reality (AR), including:
- A brief literature review noting that while AR has been studied for over 40 years, recent advances in enabling technologies have allowed for more formal user evaluations of AR applications.
- Definitions and explanations of AR, how it works by combining real and virtual worlds in real-time, and its goal of enhancing a user's perception without them being able to distinguish between real and virtual elements.
- A high-level history of AR including early innovations from the 1950s-1990s and the coining of the term "augmented reality" in 1990.
- Descriptions of common AR display techniques like head-mounted displays and smart glasses

Literature survey Augmented Reality History of AR How it works Display Techniques AR vs VR Applications & Examples Literature Survey
• Although Augmented Reality (AR) has been in studied for
over forty years it has only been recently that researchers have begun to formally evaluate AR applications. Most of the published AR research has been on enabling technologies (tracking or displays, etc), or on experimental prototype applications, but there has been little user evaluation of AR interfaces What is Augmented Reality?
•A system that incorporates three basic features,a
combination of real and virtual worlds, real-time interaction, and accurate 3D registration of virtual and real objects. History of AR • Augmented reality was first achieved, to some extent, by a cinematographer called Morton Heilig in 1957. • He invented the Sensorama which delivered visuals, sounds, vibration and smell to the viewer. • Of course, it wasn’t computer controlled but it was the first example of an attempt at adding additional data to an experience. • In 1975, Myron Krueger, an American computer artist developed the first “Virtual Reality”interface in the form of “Videoplace” which allowed its users to manipulate and interact with virtual objects and to do so in real-time. • Of course back then these weren’t “virtual reality” or “augmented reality” • Thomas P Caudell of Boeing coined the phrase “augmented reality” in 1990. • The first properly functioning AR system was probably the one developed at USAF Armstrong’s Research Lab by Louis Rosenberg in 1992. • This was called Virtual Fixtures and was an incredibly complex robotic system which was designed to compensate for the lack of high-speed 3D graphics processing power in the early 90s. • It enabled the overlay of sensory information on a workspace to improve human productivity How it works? What is the Goal of AR?
• To enhance a person’s performance and perception of the
world.
• But What is the Ultimate Goal of Augmented Reality???
The Ultimate Goal of AR
The ultimate goal of AR is that the user can't tell the
difference between the real world and the virtual data that is superimposing it. Augmented Reality VS Virtual Reality • Augmented Reality (AR) is a perfect blend of • Virtual Reality (VR) is a computer-generated the digital world and the physical elements to simulation of an alternate world or reality. create an artificial environment. • It is used in 3D movies and video games. It • It is used in Apps which are developed using AR helps to create simulations similar to the real technology for mobile or desktop to blend world and “immerse” the viewer using digital components into the real world. computers and sensory devices like headsets and gloves. This is how AR works • Pick a Real World Scene. • Add your Virtual Objects in it. • Delete Real World Objects. • Its not Virtual Reality as the Environment is Real. Dis play
Head Mounted Display (HMD)
• A head-worn apparatus that allows viewers to see images superimposed onto the real environment. • AR headsets like Microsoft's HoloLens cover the eyes and are more immersive. EYE GLASSES
• AR smart glasses are wearable computer-capable
glasses that add extra information, ideally 3D images and information such as animations and videos, to the user's real-world scenes, and are light weight and less space consuming. Applications
