Hello Readers,
Today I was just browsing through internet and found a technology that really impressed me and I decided to write about it, hope you will find it interesting too.
A technology that allows the user to see a a physical view of real world environment, directly or in-directly, whose elements are augmented by computer-generated sensory input.
The term augmented reality is believedto have been coined in 1990 by Thomas Caudell, working at Boeing . AR is considered as an extension of Virtual Reality. Virtual Reality(VR) is a virtual space in which players immerse themselves into that space and exceed the bounds of reality. In virtual reality, time, physical laws and material properties may no longer be followed, in contrast to the real-world environment of AR. Instead of considering AR and VR as exact opposite concepts, 'Milgram et al' claim them as the Reality-Virtual (RV) continuum -- (Milgram, Takemura, Utsumi and Kishino, 1994).
AR technology includes head-mounted displays and virtual retinal displays for visualization purposes, and construction of controlled environments containing sensors and actuators .
