3. Introduction
• Augmented reality helps present information succinctly.
• AR presents a view of the real, physical world that incorporates
additional information to augment this view.
• Augmented-reality applications commonly use markers for detecting
and tracking virtual objects.
4. Introduction
(a) an ARToolKit-type marker
(b) theEiffel Tower
(c) a wine glass
(d) a beer bottle.
9. Realizing Augmented Reality
• Enabling Technologies
• AR presupposes a substantial information infrastructure
• Cloud services
• AR requires significant computing and communications infrastructure
10. Realizing Augmented Reality
• User Platforms – cloud services backdrop
• Mobile phones
• High-quality cameras
• Geolocation capabilities
• Other sensors
• Sufficient computing
• Communications capabilities
11. Realizing Augmented Reality
• User Platforms – cloud services backdrop
• Vehicles - windshield
• Practically unlimited (electric) power
• Support powerful computing and communications
• Wearable computers – Google Glass
• Numerous sensors
• Close access to user
12. Toward an AR App Taxonomy
• Trigger
• Location trigger – Nokia City Lens
• UPC symbol – Amazon Mobile App
• Face recognition – Recognizr
• Interactivity
• No interactivity – road names augmented on a satellite image
• Low interactivity – GPS Drive, Walk app
• High interactivity – advertisement icons
13. Toward an AR App Taconomy
• User interface modalities
• Gesture
• Gaze
• Speech – Google Glass
• Touch - joysticks
14. Opportunities and Prospects
• Usability Challenges
• Overloading users
• Can the user tell the difference between reality and the augmentation?
• Is the augmentation aligned with reality?
• How can a user transition between AR and traditional apps?
• Social Challenges
• Business Models
15. Conclusion
• The AR apps we see today are little more than proofs of concept, but
they do succeed in showing the potential of making augmented
reality a reality.
