1. AUGMENTED
REALITY (AR)
The future of computing...

2. —SOMEONE FAMOUS
“AR makes the existing reality more meaningful.”

4. Our world is filled with jargons. Here’s
some points to remember:
AR = Augmented Reality
VR = Virtual Reality
MR/XR = Mixed Reality
SLAM = Simultaneous Localization and
Mapping
CV = Computer Vision
HMD = Head Mounted Displays
FYI = For Your Information :P
BEFORE WE BEGIN

5. FYI, AR is NOT VR
01.
INTRODUCTION TO
AUGMENTED REALITY
(AR, MR, XR)

6. A technology that superimposes a
computer-generated image on a user's view of
the real world, thus providing a composite
view.
Augmented Reality
BY DEFINITION

7. A technology that superimposes a
computer-generated image on a user's view of
the real world, thus providing a composite
view.
Augmented Reality
BY DEFINITION

11. HOW DOES AR WORK, ANYWAY?
IMAGE RECOGNITION
Image recognition is a term for computer
technologies that can recognize certain people,
animals, objects or other targeted subjects through
the use of algorithms
IMAGE TRACKING
Continuous three dimensional tracking of feature
sets

12. HOW DOES AR WORK, ANYWAY?
Simultaneous Localization And
Mapping (SLAM)
A technology wherein a robot or a
device can create a map of its
surroundings and orient itself properly
within the map in real–time.
At the heart of any augmented reality
application is computer vision libraries like
OpenCV. But if it’s too high tech for you, don’t
worry! You won’t need it any time soon.

13. Augmented reality (AR) adds digital elements to a
live view often by using the camera on a
smartphone. AR let us see the real-life
environment right in front of us—trees swaying in
the park, dogs chasing balls, kids playing
soccer—with a digital augmentation overlaid on it.
DIFFERENCE BETWEEN AR and VR
AUGMENTED REALITY
A complete immersion experience that shuts out
the physical world. Using VR devices such as HTC
Vive, Oculus Rift or Google Cardboard, users can
be transported into a number of real-world and
imagined environments such as the middle of a
penguin colony or inside Spiderman universe
Virtual Reality (VR)

14. FYI, AR made its first debut in 1968 at Harvard University
02.
HISTORY OF
AUGMENTED REALITY

15. A BRIEF HISTORY OF AUGMENTED REALITY
FIRST DEBUT
Computer scientist Ivan
Sutherland developed the
first ever AR
head-mounted display
(HMD) system
COINING THE WORD GOOGLE GLASS
1968 1990 2013
“Augmented Reality” is
used for the first time. It
was used by the Boeing
researcher Tom Caudell
Even though the “Glass”
wasn’t a successful
project, it was a very
important step into the
future. Wearable AR
technology is surely a part
of our future.

18. FYI, By 2020, there should be 1 billion augmented reality users.
