Augmented Reality

Augmented reality refers to the layering of digital information over the real world. The way that humanity perceives reality and accesses the ocean of information that increasingly surrounds us is about to change forever. The shift to an augmented reality is speeding up due to the wide spread adoption of smart mobile devices equipped with cameras and GPS capabilities. Video Glasses, today a clunky and often belittled technology will play a central role in the adoption of next generation AR applications.

If you are considering a pair of video glasses and already own an augmented reality enabled smart mobile device like the i-Phone 3gs then look through some of the applications that we have highlighted here.

More on Augmented reality (AR) is a field of computer research which deals with the combination of real-world and computer-generated data (virtual reality), where computer graphics objects are blended into real footage in real time. The term is believed to have been coined in 1990 by Thomas Caudell, an employee of Boeing at the time^[1].

At present, most AR research is concerned with the use of live video imagery which is digitally processed and "augmented" by the addition of computer-generated graphics. Advanced research includes the use of motion-tracking data, fiducial markers recognition using machine vision, and the construction of controlled environments containing any number of sensors and actuators.
