Augmented Reality
1
Introduction
Augmented
reality (AR) is a term for
a live direct or indirect
view of a physical real-
world environment
whose elements
are augmented by
virtual computer-
generated imagery.
2
Definition
Ronald Azuma's definition says that Augmented reality
combines real and virtual
is interactive in real time
is registered in 3D
3
Miligram’s Reality - Virtuality
Continuum
Paul Miligram coined the term “Augmented Virtuality” to identify systems which
are mostly synthetic with some real world imagery added such as texture mapping
video onto virtual objects.

What is Augmented Reality?
Reality is modified by a computer
Enhances one’s current perception of reality.
Superimposes graphics, audio and other sense
enhancements onto real time environments.
A technology that blurs the line between what's real
and what's computer-generated by enhancing what we
see, hear, feel and smell.
5
How does it work?
It operates in real-time and in semantic context with
environmental elements.
Artificial information about the environment and the
objects in it can be stored and retrieved as an
information layer on top of the real world view.
Computer vision and object recognition, makes the
information about the surrounding real world of the
user interactive and digitally usable.
6
Requirements:
An Augmented Reality System needs the following
components:
Scene Generator
Uses Mobile Computing Power
Display Device
HMDs are mostly used
Tracking and Sensing
GPS is normally used for tracking
7
To merge the Real and the Virtual Worlds…
The following objectives need to be met,
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

Display Technologies:
The basic display technologies are,
Monitor Based
Head Mounted Displays
Mobile Phone Displays
11
Monitor Based AR
It’s the Simplest to
implement
Lacks the immersion to
the environment
provided by HMD based
AR systems.

Augmented Reality using HMDs
Similar to Head-Up Displays (HUDs) commonly used
in military aircraft.
Can see through the display even if the power is
turned off.
The see-through HMD does not shut off the user’s
normal field-of-view
HMDs provide a Wide field of view

AR in Mobile Phones
Applications are available on the market for the
iPhone and Android Phones which implement AR.
The recent crop of High end Smart phones have the
suitable hardware requirements for AR based
applications
Examples of such applications include
LAYAR
YELP
WIKITUDE
17
LAYAR: The AR Browser
LAYAR is a web browser
which uses Augmented
Reality Technology
It uses the following
components:
GPS
Compass
In-built Camera

Applications of AR:
Education
Medical
Military
Manufacturing Maintenance and Repair
Entertainment
21
Education
AR takes advantage of
the limitations offered
by other visual means of
communication for
learning
Allows students to
understand spatially
related content without
relying on 2D Diagrams.
22
23
Medical
Using pre operative
imaging studies (like
MRI, CT Scan etc.) a
Visualization of the path
through the anatomy to
the affected area can be
recreated .
From this a Surgery can
be planned more
accurately.
24
Military
By equipping military
personnel with helmet
mounted visor displays
the activities of other
units can be imaged
In war time, the display of
the real battlefield scene
could be augmented with
annotation information or
highlighting to emphasize
hidden enemy units.
25
Military
Soldiers will be able to communicate with a massive
"home base" server that collects and renders 3D
information onto the wearer's goggles in real time
26
Maintenance and Repair
When the maintenance technician approaches a new or
unfamiliar piece of equipment instead of opening several
repair manuals they could put on an augmented reality display
27
Limitations of AR
 GPS is only accurate to within 30 feet (9 meters) and
doesn't work as well indoors
Most cell phone screens are too small for immersive
AR applications
Privacy concerns
The “Crack Berry” Phenomenon
28
AR as a Sixth Sense…
The most recent innovation in AR is a technology called
Sixth Sense developed Pranav Mistry, MIT Media Labs.
Instead of HMDs, it projects the information onto the
Environment surrounding the user.
The system operates using simple off the shelf
components like,
Camera
Small Projector
Mirrors
Smart Phone
