Augmented reality (AR) enhances real-world environments with computer-generated sensory inputs and is increasingly used in various fields such as real estate, gaming, and retail. Key AR applications include facial recognition, interactive shopping experiences, and educational tools, which are being enhanced through advancements in technology. The future of AR promises further innovations and applications in diverse industries, with significant events showcasing emerging trends.

Augmented reality (AR) is a live direct or indirect view of a physical, real-world environment
whose elements are augmented (or supplemented) by computer-generated sensory input
such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Augmented_reality

How to experience Augmented Reality?
One of the many ways for
implementing Augmented
Reality.
This technique is used
in several web based
AR apps.
It requires 3 simple 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.

How does AR work?
The process of those three steps takes less
than 40ms to match the human eye fluidity
of 25 images per second.
Powerful algorithms need to be applied
and research is continuously progressing
to further develop each of these three
processes boosted by the growing
performances of equipment and devices.
ComputerVision is in itself a high
consumer of CPU but higher is the
available power, better is the
sophistication of the algorithm for a
truly enhanced user experience.
Furthermore, with the rapidly
progressing utilization of captors,
such as GPS, Compass, gyroscope,
thermometers, speedometer, the sum
of information collected can be
used to further enrich and boost
users experience in a current context.

Augmented Tomorrow
With the availability of this technology, sky is the limit, when it comes to thinking of
possibilities of its uses. The current world of AR uses live video feed which is digitally
enhanced with CGI.
Augmented reality apps are changing the way we see the world, literally. As long
as the generated augmented content remains appealing and pioneering,
consumers will certainly approve them as a novel and fun twist to conventional
marketing technique.

32. 32
the way forward..
We can expect further
advances in AR technology
at the various live events
and trade shows taking
place across the globe, not
least the Augmented World
Expo (world's largest AR
event) in California. Chief
Executives come together
to discuss the future of AR
and how it will being to
effect retail, health,
education, media,
entertainment, travel and
more in 2014.
At CES 2014we can expect many
more forward-thinking designs to
be presented, pushing forward AR
developments and realities
