OpenCV (Open Source Computer Vision Library) is an
open source computer vision and machine learning
software library.
It has C++, C, Python, Java and MATLAB interfaces
and supports Windows, Linux, Android and Mac OS
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

Application Areas
Today’s virtual and augmented reality systems are
typically implemented in one of three ways:
 head-mounted displays
 world-fixed displays
 hand-held displays

A related magnet-friendly VR goggles have allowed us
to study the neural correlates of VR pain reduction.
