Exploring Augmented Reality Innovations: Features, Differences, and Applications

Augmented Reality （擴增實境） Tsung-Yi

Definition • Augmented reality (AR) • is a live, direct or indirect, view of a physical, real-world environment • whose elements are augmented by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data.

Definition • 3 Features • Combines real and virtual • Interactive in real time • Registered in 3-D

Augmented Reality vs. Virtual Reality Augmented Reality • System augments the real world scene • User maintains a sense of presence in real world • Needs a mechanism to combine virtual and real worlds Virtual Reality • Totally immersive environment • Senses are under control of system • Need a mechanism to feed virtual world to user

Display Technologies • Monitor Based • Laptops • Cell phones • Projectors (more Ubiquitous Computing) • Head Mounted Displays: • Video see-through • Optical see-through

Hologram • Holography is the science and practice of making holograms. • Typically, a hologram is a photographic recording of a light field, and it is used to display a fully three-dimensional image of the holographed subject, (?? which is seen without the aid of special glasses or other intermediate optics.

Hologram • Example (鄧麗君) • http://palfan.pixnet.net/blog/post/284166463-%E3%80%90%E9%80%9D%E4%B8%9620%E5%91%A8%E5%B9%B4%E3%80%91%E9%84%A7%E9%BA%97%E5%90%9B%E9%80%9D%E4%B8%9620%E5%B9%B4%E3%80%8C%E7%8F%BE%E8%BA%AB%E3%80%8D%E6%94%BB%E8%9B%8B-
