Augmented reality enhances the real world by overlaying digital content. There are two types: marker-based AR uses image recognition of programmed markers, while marker-less AR recognizes objects without markers using algorithms. AR offers advantages like improved work environments and experiences but also disadvantages like privacy issues and potential health risks or addictive behaviors. The key components of AR include artificial intelligence, AR software, processing power, lenses or screens, and sensors to integrate digital and physical worlds.

2. Augmented Reality
Introduction of Augmented Reality:
Augmented reality is an enhanced, interactive version of a
real-world environment achieved through digital visual elements, sounds, and other
sensory stimuli via holographic technology. AR incorporates three features: a
combination of digital and physical worlds, interactions made in real time, and
accurate 3D identification of virtual and real objects.
Augmented reality offers a better way to design, curate, and
deliver consumable instructions by overlaying digital content in real-world work
environments. When a business understands what AR is and how to utilize it
successfully, everyone can work remotely while collaborating efficiently.
Types of Augmented Reality:
There are two types of augmented reality
 Marker-based Augmented Reality
 Marker-less Augmented Reality
 Marker-based Augmented Reality:
Marker-based Augmented Reality is created using image
recognition to identify objects already programmed into your AR device or
application. When placing objects in view as points of reference, they can help
your AR device determine the position and orientation of the camera. This is
generally achieved by switching your camera to grayscale and detecting a marker
to compare that marker with all the others in its information bank. Once your
device finds a match, it uses that data to mathematically determine the pose and
place the AR image in the right spot.

3. Marker-less Augmented Reality:
Marker-less Augmented Reality is more complex as there’s no
point in which your device will focus on. Because of this, your device must
recognize items as they appear in view. Using a recognition algorithm, the device
will look for colors, patterns, and similar features to determine what that object is
and then, using time, accelerometer, GPS, and compass information, it will or
orient itself and use a camera to overlay an image of whatever you’d like within
your real-world surroundings.
Advantages and Disadvantages of Augmented
Reality
ADVANTAGES DISADVANTAGES

Component of Augmented Reality:
There are five Component of Augmented Reality
 Artificial Intelligence
 AR software
 Processing
 Lenses
 Sensors

4. Artificial Intelligence:
Most augmented reality solutions need artificial intelligence
(AI) to work, allowing users to complete actions using voice prompts. AI can
also help process information for your AR application.
AR Software:
These are the tools and applications used to access AR. Some
businesses can create their own form of AR software.
Processing:
You’ll need processing power for your AR technology to work,
generally by leveraging your device’s internal operating system.
Lenses:
You’ll need a lens or image platform to view your content or
images. The better quality your screen is, the more realistic your image will
appear.
Sensors:
AR systems need to digest data about their
environment to align the real and digital worlds. When your camera captures
information, it sends it through software for processing.
