Augmented Reality ppt
The document provides an overview of augmented reality (AR), explaining its definition, goals, and how it contrasts with virtual reality (VR). It discusses various display techniques and technologies used in AR, such as head-mounted displays and spatial displays, while also highlighting applications in fields like medicine, entertainment, and military training. The ultimate goal of AR is to seamlessly integrate virtual enhancements into the real world to enhance user experience and perception.

Editor's Notes
- #4 Generates a composite view for the user.
- #7 To the user of this system, it would appear that he is looking at a single scene. Show image a few slides back: Shows the merging and correct registration of pre-operative data and the patient’s head. Providing this view to a surgeon in the operating room would: Enhance the surgeon’s performance Possibly eliminate the need for any other calibration fixtures during the operation
- #8 Computer generated virtual objects must be accurately registers with the real in all dimensions. Errors in registration prevent the real and virtual images from being seen as fused. Registration must be maintained while the user moves around in the virtual environment. Changes in registration can be distracting or physically disturbing.
- #9 Augmented reality is closest to the real world because mainly a user is perceiving the real world with just a little computer generated data. This distinction will probably fade as technology improves.
- #15 Sometimes referred to as “Windows on the World” or “Fish Tank VR” Other display technologies are used to increase the sense of presence.
- #16 Works by placing optical combiners in front of the user’s eyes. Combiners are partially transmissive - so user can look directly through them and see the real world. Combiners are partially reflective - so user can also see virtual images bounced off the combiners from head-mounted monitors. Similar to Head-Up Displays (HUDs) commonly used in military aircraft. Can see through the display even if the power is turned off.
- #17 Works by combining a closed-view HMD with one or two head-mounted video cameras Video cameras provide the user’s view of the real world. Video from cameras is combined with graphics images by the scene generator to blend the two worlds. Result is sent to the monitors in from on the user’s eyes in the closed-view HMD. User has no direct view of the real world. If power is off, the user is “blind.”
- #18 Color selected cannot be used in the virtual object. Depth Information allows for occlusion.
- #19 Flexibility in composition strategies Basic Problem with optical is the virtual objects do not completely obscure real- world objects because combiners allow light from both the virtual and real sources. Virtual objects appear ghost-like and semi-transparent, damaging the illusion of reality because occlusion is a strong depth cue. Video see-through is much more flexible about how it merges real and virtual - they are both in digitized form so compositors can do a pixel-by-pixel comparison. Produces more compelling environments. Wide Field of View Distortions in optical systems are a function of the radial distance away from the optical axis - the further you look away from the center of the view, the more distorted it gets. A digitized image taken through a distorted optical system can be undistorted by applying image processing techniques to unwarp the image. This requires significant amounts of computation - but this constraint will lessen as computers become faster. It is harder to build wide FOV displays with optical see-through constraints. Distortions of the user’s view of the real world could be corrected optically, but complex optics are expensive and make the HMD heavier. Real and Virtual delays can be matched Delay the video of the real world to match the delay in the virtual image stream. (can’t be done in optical because it gives the user a direct view of the real world.) Disadvantage: eliminating dynamic error comes at the cost of delaying both the real and virtual scenes - user sees everything lagging behind.
- #20 Simplicity Optical has only 1 stream of video to worry about (the graphics images), while Video has separate streams for real and virtual images. Optical - real world is seen directly through combiners with a time delay of a few nanoseconds while both delays in video are in 10s of milliseconds. Optical HMDs with narrow field of view combiners offer views of the real world that are basically undistorted, while Video has distortion that must be compensated for. Resolution Video limits the resolution of what the user sees (both real and virtual) to the resolution of the display devices. Optical limits the virtual resolution to the resolution of the display devices but not the user’s view of the real world. No Eye Offset Video - user’s view of real world is provided by video cameras that are not necessarily located at exact positions of user’s eye - creating an offset between cameras and real eyes. Video problem can be avoided using mirrors to create a set of optical paths that mimic the direct path to the user’s eyes, however this adds complexity to the HMD design. Offset is not generally a problem for optical.
