1) Augmented reality (AR) uses markers or marker-less detection to project digital images into the real world. Examples include using triangular polygons to create 3D avatars or smart glasses to assist athletes. 2) AR has various applications such as disaster prediction, virtual home tours, and intuitive navigation. It can use files like JPEG and PNG as markers. 3) Mixed reality (MR) blends the physical and virtual worlds by recognizing and overlaying digital objects onto the real world through head-mounted displays. Unlike virtual reality, MR maintains awareness of the physical environment. It is being adopted in various industries like construction, manufacturing, and entertainment.

Key details
①The advantage of AR markers is that they can project images easily
and accurately.
Marker-less AR is the ability to project image freely anywhere. example:⑤
②3D avatar making use triangular polygon ( square polygon).
③Smart glasses will be used by athletes.
④Nitori and Nike make a technology of original AR.
AR technology would be used in disaster prediction.
⑤If you are lost, the directions feature using AR technology can provide more
intuitive directions.
When you are thinking of moving out of your own home, you can easily view the
rooms you are thinking of moving into from the comfort of your own home.
More details
By uploading files and using the website for creating AR markers, the following objects can be displayed on the
screen.
PNG and jpeg files are employed as they are very compatible when used as AR markers.
Being able to know accurate information in long-distance competitions is very important, so AR technology in
this can assist in achieving very good results.

2. Computer Graphics: Mixed Reality
AR + VR = ?
The answer is MR.
・MR is becoming mainstrem in
consumers and businesses. MR is
blending the physical and virtual worlds.
MR can recognize our real world and
blend virtual world. With MR technology,
visual information can be seen as if it
exists in any location or space.
・As you can read, some businesses use
MR in many ways. The renge of MRs we
deal with is wide. So, businesses continue
using and develop MR.
・In the future, the ambiguous blending
of real and virtual spaces will create a
new world that will defy conventional
wisdom.
MR is the next wave of computing, following mainframes, PCs, and smartphones. So, It
is becoming mainstream in bussinesses and consumers. MR can blend real world and
degital world. It becomes new real world. This world is based on advances in computer
vision , graphical processing, display technology, input systems, and cloud computing.
People have to wear MR head mount display so, it looks like VR. However, it's not VR or
AR. VR only see virtual world. AR add elements that not enough for real world. On the
other hand, MR can materialize visual information in real space as a hologram in the
shape of the real world. It means you can see video information in any location or
space as if it were there. It's a big difference. Maybe, you notice that the reason of the
answer of AR + VR is MR. These technologies have different advantages.
MR is already used in many ways. I will explain some examples. The first example is
microsoft hololens2. It uses eyetracking function and It is equipped with four main
sensors: accelerometer, angular rate sensor, magnetic sensor, and Azure Kinect sensor.
These sensor detect our finger's move. So, we can play the virtual piano. I will explain
other examples. Construction industry, manufacturing industry, entertainment industy
and more some industries use MR. By displaying manufacturing processes, procedures,
and equipment operation methods, actions to be taken can be confirmed in real time
while the work is in progress. You may think MR is used only game or some small fields,
but MR is used in many ways for solving problems.
In the future, MR will spread and many companies use MR. MR devices optimized for
their respective industries, such as the helmet-integrated HoloLens2, are now
available, and as their use continues to grow, devices with a variety of features will be
released. If it becomes so, it is possible that devices with contact lens-type displays,
etc. that can be used without much awareness of how they feel to wear may emerge. I
look forward to such a future!
