2. What We’ll Look At..
● What is Augmented Reality (AR)?
● Types & Characteristics of AR
● Brief from the past
● Current uses of AR
● Future of AR
● Move up for first AR App
● Wrap up

3. What is Augmented Reality after all❓
● User experiences that add 2D or 3D elements to the
live view from a device's camera.
● Virtual objects are superimposed over physical view.
● Interaction with objects using gestures and
movement.
● Alternatively called “Mixed Reality”.

4. Major forms of augmented reality
1. Marker- based AR : works on concept of
target recognition. (Image recognition)
2. Marker-less AR : location-based AR
3. Projection-based AR : Projecting
synthetic light to physical surfaces.
4. Superimposition-based AR : Replaces
the original view with an augmented.
5. Outlining AR : Used in face recognition

5. Characteristics of AR
1. Overlay of Real and Digital world
(Display Technology)
2. Real-time interaction (Interaction
Technology)
3. Registration and Alignment in 3D (
Tracking Technology)

6. Brief from the past ✍
Between 1968 and 2018
❏ 1968 — Ivan Sutherland creates The Sword of Damocles.
❏ 1999 — NASA’s x-38 was flown utilising a special AR dashboard for
navigation purposes by Steve Mann .
❏ 2012 —Google Glass was launched 👓.
❏ 2016 —Pokemon Go reaching a peak of 45 million daily users💥💥
❏ 2017 — Apple announces ARKit and Google launches ARCore.
❏ 2018 — Mondly , Civilizations AR, AR MeasureKit for measuring
things in the world.

7. Current Uses of AR
● Military
● Medical Research
● Education
● Marketing and Commercial
● Industry
● Art and Architecture
● Archaeology
● Commerce
● Music

8. Future of AR 🔮
★ Major advancements in health care
(around $5 billion), tourism industries.
★ Effective and practical learning.
★ Featured Quote: “In a few years, we’re
not going to be able to imagine our
lives without [AR]. It’s that profound”
Tim Cook — CEO of Apple.
★ Games - grow to 216 million users

9. Challenges That may halt Progress
1. Portable power supplies ⚡
2. Processing power
3. HD portable displays
4. Social Rejection

10. Move Up For First AR App ?
>> Mobile AR SDKs
- ARKit (Apple)
- ARCore (Google)
- Vuforia
- Unity3D : cross-platform games engine
- RNDR, Umbra 3D,6D.AI - These are cloud-based
rendering services focused on AR

11. Requirements 🏷
For Apple’s ARKit:
● iOS 11.0 or later 📱
● XCode 9 or later ⚙
● Devices - iPhone 6s, 6s+,7,7+,SE,8,8+,X,iPad Pro (9.7, 10.5 or
12.9) – both first-gen and 2nd-gen, iPad (2017)
● mac OS Sierra 10.12.4 (or newer version) 🖥
For Google’s ARCore:
● Android 7.0 (Nougat) and later(API level 24 or higher)📱
● Android Studio version 3.1 or higher ⚙

12. Wrapping up… 🏁
>> Essential things behind the scenes of AR.
1. Tracking : device’s position and orientation
2. Scene understanding : includes Plane detection,
Hit-testing and Light estimation.
3. Rendering : placing 3D objects contextually

13. Tip—Keep in mind
1. Poor lighting or Contrast
2. Lack of texture
3. Fast Movement
4. Space & Charged batteries
