This document provides an overview of augmented reality (AR) including definitions, comparisons to virtual reality, history, applications, and the present and future of AR. It defines AR as an interactive experience that enhances the real world by overlaying computer-generated information such as images, text, and sounds. Examples of current AR applications discussed include gaming, medical, manufacturing, navigation, and defense uses. The future of AR is predicted to include expanded uses in social networking, marketing, advertising, and education as the technology continues to develop.
3. “WHAT IS AUGMENTED REALITY?”
AUGMENTED REALITY IS AN INTERACTIVE EXPERIENCE COMPRISED OF COMPUTER
GENERATED DISPLAY, SOUND, TEXT AND EFFECTS TO ENHANCE THE USER'S REAL-
WORLD EXPERIENCE.
4. WHAT IS AUGMENTED REALITY?
• A TECHNOLOGY THAT SUPERIMPOSES A COMPUTER-GENERATED IMAGE ON A
USER'S VIEW OF THE REAL WORLD, THUS PROVIDING A COMPOSITE VIEW.
7. AUGMENTED REALITY VS VIRTUAL
REALITY
AUGMENTED REALITY
• System augments the real world
scene
• User maintains a sense of presence in
real world
• Needs a mechanism to combine
virtual and real worlds
• Hard to register real and virtual
VIRTUAL REALITY
• Totally immersive environment
• Senses are under control of system
• Need a mechanism to feed virtual
world to user
• Hard to make VR world interesting
9. The earliest reference
of Augmented Reality
can be traced out from
the popular novel “The
Master Key” by Lyman
Frank Baum in 1901.
10. Augmented Reality
makes its real debut in
year 1968 as “Sword of
Damocles” a HMD
(Head Mounted
Display) System
developed by
Computer Scientist
Ivan Sutherland which
used Computer
generated graphics to
show user simple
wireframes.
11. The term Augmented
Reality came out in
year 1990 by Tom
Caudell where he and
his colleague proposed
a concept for the use
of HMDs in Airplane
Helm projecting a
airplane semantic onto
reusable boards.
13. THE CONTINUUM THEORY
• Milgram coined the term “Augmented Virtuality” to identify systems which are mostly
synthetic with some real world imagery added such as texture mapping video onto
virtual objects.
Mixed Reality (MR)

Virtual
Environment
Augmented

Augmented
Virtuality (AV)
15. HOW AUGMENTED REALITY WORKS?
• Augmented Reality takes the real world as a point reference and overlays computer
generated image over it.

Oldest AR application
ever accounted for
publicly was in a soccer
game where markers
were shown around the
field depicting
movement paths,
distance etc. Though it
was just some video
editing but it still was one
of kind.

Augmented Reality in
medicine is used for
training future doctors,
creating a virtual
environment for studying
the human body, as well
as in the real practical
area, allowing many
surgeries to be
undertaken with greater
efficiency and minimal
risk for patients

In combat AR can
provide the soldiers with
useful tactical data of the
battlefield in the form of
object projection of
useful objects, safe
passage, and unseen
obstacles.

In navigation AR can
help the user by
providing hassle free
route to destination,
information about public
places and many other
stuffs ( Limit is your
Imagination) by
projecting real time
information and making
traveling a little bit more
interactive in a fun way.

Using a head-worn display,
a mechanic making repairs
to an engine can see
superimposed imagery and
information in his actual line
of sight. The augmented
reality system can label all
the important parts.
Complex procedural repairs
can be broken down into a
series of simple steps.
Simulations can be used to
train technicians, which can
significantly reduce training
expenses

Heard of Pokémon Go….
Tried its AR mode
Yes?
24. THE PRESENT
The Augmented Reality today could be seen as pesky little games to humongous
applications, be it medical or manufacturing, education or entertainment, or illustrations.
We don’t know where the list will end but it is sure it will not end anytime sooner.
25. While the Augmented
reality has a huge
platform of high end
application used for
research, construction
and education but one of
the most vibrant field of
AR application today is in
Gaming. Developers
keeps on developing
games that features
various kinds of AR
Functionality and since
the human is a greedy
and demanding creature,
well it surely gets its fair
share of admirers.

AT I T ’ S B E S T
Developed by Niantic
Labs (Now known as
Niantic Inc.) together
with Nintendo, the game
acquired some pretty
awesome response, be it
because of the fantastic
AR artwork or the huge
fan base of Pokémon.
27. AUGMENTED REALITY APPLICATION SOFTWARE
Though most of the AR market is currently occupied by games there are some application software
developed with some mainstream applications.
28. • Print goes interactive media! Layar is
designed to bring print content into
the virtual world, just by scanning it.
Once the source is scanned, the
augmented reality app can provide
direct links to particular products
or bring up videos in a few seconds.
Furthermore, the app includes tools for
sharing the content on social media
platforms.
• A new sky guide that turns your
environment in to a personal
planetarium. It provides you with
information about stars, planets,
constellations, and satellites.
Furthermore, it has some premium
features like live sky tours, a solar
system exploration or a deep sky zoom
to investigate the universe. All you
have to do is to point the camera to
the sky.
29. • With this augmented reality app you can place virtual furniture from the IKEA
catalogue directly to your room. A whole new interior design experience.
30. THE FUTURE
You are probably amazed right now after seeing all those unseen and unknown stuff
(probably) but it is time to Step Into The Future……
31. FUTURE OF AR
• Augmented Reality in Social Networking
• Augmented Reality in Marketing and Advertisement
• Augmented Reality in Education
• And many more …………………………
