4. StarWars had always pushed the technological side to what
they saw would be the future and these have finally caught up
by world researchers to make it possible.

5.  Holography is based on the principle of
Interference, it does not need a gear, viewed in
a proper illumination.
 It is a photographic technique that records the
light scattered from an object, and then presents
it in a way that appears 3D. Such images are
called Holograms.
 Holography is a lens less photography that
produces holograms.
 To make a hologram we need the light of single
color such as laser light.

6.  Augmented reality is a technology that
blends virtual and real elements to create a
unique immersive experience.
 This superimposition of images onto real
world surroundings

12.  Virtual reality is the use of computer-
generated technology to recreate a real life
environment or situation.
 VR can be seen only through screen monitor
and the use of headsets like Oculus, Sony,
HTC etc.
 Requires 3 things - A PC, console or
smartphone to run.

- Separation from the
real world

15. Virtual Reality (VR) – replace reality Augmented Reality (AR) – enhance reality
Fully immersive Partially immersive
Senses are under control of system Sense of presence in real world
Need mechanical to feed virtual to user Need mechanical to merge virtual and real world
Hard to make virtual world realistic Hard to register virtual world onto real world

20. HOW ITWORKSAND ITS REALWORLD USES

21. Real time video stream requires 3 fundamental
steps:
 Recognition: Recognition of an image, an
object, a face or a body
 Tracking: Real-time localization in space of
the image, object, face, or body
 Mix: Superposition of a media (video, 3D, 2D,
text, etc…) on top of this image, object, face
or body.

22.  Video stream from camera / HMDs
