Staff writerNavigation and Wayfinding Augmented reality means to show something better or increase it. Reality means truth. It means making anything look better than it is. Augmented reality is a form of virtual reality. In this technique, a computer-generated environment is created that matches the environment around you. If understood in simple language, a virtual scene is created by connecting the environment around you to a virtual world that looks real. This is such a reality which keeps you in your world and makes your vision advanced. That means you will not be able to tell any difference between the real world and the virtual world.
How does augmented reality work?
Augmented reality depends on three things
Motion tracking
When you start the camera of your phone, the gyroscope also starts with it. A gyroscope is a sensor that is in every mobile. By looking at the position of your phone, the gyroscope knows your position and to what degree your mobile is tilted. It helps in motion tracking.
Light estimation
Your device’s sensor measures the light around you. With this, it creates shadows of the shapes of augmented reality. Due to this, these characters look real. Your device’s sensors measure the light around you. With this, it also creates shadows of the shapes of augmented reality. This makes the characters of augmented reality look exactly like real ones.
Flat surface
A flat surface is required to reduce augmented reality. If you work on rough terrain, it will not work. In this, you need a flat surface so that it can install its model and interact with you.
Augmented reality devices
Many of today’s modern devices already support augmented reality (such as smartphones, tablets, Google Glass, and many more). Sensors, cameras, accelerometers, gyroscopes, digital compasses, GPS, CPUs, displays, and many other things are used for AR devices. Devices suitable for Augmented Reality have been divided into the following categories.
Mobile devices (smartphones and tablets)
Augmented reality is available on your mobile phones and tablets for gaming, entertainment, business, social networks, and many more applications.
Special AR devices
An example of this is a head-up display (HUD) which sends data to a transparent display that the user can see. It is used in cars.
AR glass or smart glass
Google glasses, Meta 2 glasses, and LA Forge AR eyewear are examples of this. Which displays notifications, access content hands-free, and many more things from your phone.
AR contact lenses (or smart lenses)
Many companies like Samsung and Sony are developing AR lenses.
Virtual retinal displays (VRD)
These create images by projecting laser light onto the human eye.
Education
It works to make the technology subject easier in education. This makes it easier for students to understand. Nowadays, in the era of projectors, smart technology, and smart glasses, AR makes education even easier.
Military Training
This technology is used in war practice. In this, the army is shown a virtual field and made aware of everything there. In such a situation, it has become an important part of training in the army.
Engineering design
In this AR is used as a model. It is already known how the project will look after completion. With this, how any residential or commercial project will look after construction is predicted. Augmented reality is used as a model in engineering design. It is already known how the project will look after completion. Be it any society or colony, everything can be planned with the help of augmented reality. From this, it can be predicted how the society or project will look after construction.
Digital Gaming
Nowadays everyone likes to play games. This trend is growing very fast and is affecting everyone. In such a situation, games have also started developing along with technology in gaming. Now people want to live the game along with playing it. In such a situation, game companies are busy using technology to meet the demands of their customers. Augmented reality is also used in gaming. Pokemon go is the best example of this.
Medicine
In medicine, it is used for training. In this, the methods of treatment are explained to the students without using any dead body.
Shopping
In this AR is used to understand the product better. In this the product is shown well and its uses are explained. In medicine, it is used for training. In this, the methods of treatment are explained to the students without using any dead body. The use of augmented reality for shopping is very new. It is used to explain the product well. Nowadays people do not buy any product without testing it. Shopping companies found a solution to this with the help of augmented reality. This way the product can be shown better and its uses can be explained.
