4. • Augmented Reality (AR) is a
technology or an environment
where the additional information
generated by a computer is
inserted into the user’s view of
real world scene.
• The augmenting information
may consist of virtual geometric
objects placed into the
environment, or a display of non-
geometric information about
existing real objects such as
distribution of room temperature.

7. Combining the Real and Virtual Worlds
We need:
 Precise models
 Locations and optical properties of the viewer (or
camera) and the display
 Calibration of all devices
 To combine all local coordinate systems centered on
the devices and the objects in the scene in a global
coordinate system
7

8. Combining the Real and Virtual Worlds
 Register models of all 3D objects of interest with their
counterparts in the scene
 Track the objects over time when the user moves and
interacts with the scene

9. Combining the Real and Virtual Worlds
 Registered in three dimensions
• Imagery is in 3D
• Graphics and Models are created by Designers
 Exposure to learning experiences
 Used to enhance collaborative tasks

10. Testing Scope
Defining Testing Scope for Testing AR apps :-
 Tracking objects in real time. We need to make sure the
augmented object is rendered properly by AR applications.
 Performance under different inputs. How the AR
applications handle different inputs such as change in
angle, orientation and distance between image target and
smart device.
 Applications registers 2D/3D objects correctly and
appropriately. We need to make sure that image targets are
mapped correctly against their 3D objects.
 Hyperlinks and interactive buttons redirect as expected.
 Network related issues

11. AR in Software Testing
Identifying Implementation Areas :
 Teaching and learning experience
 Preparing and Tracking Test Machines(short setup
time)
 Executing test cases on the fly
 Using hand gestures to pass or fail a step
 Reporting
 Status call with clients through AR based Video
conferencing

16. Benefits of AR
 Combines real-world environments and virtual reality
• Real-world environments can interact
with virtual objects.
• Virtual objects will respond to real-world
physical actions.
 Interactive in real-time
• Real time processing
• Data can be generated in real time
