HOW DOES AR WORK?HOW AUGMENTED REALITY WORKS?

TECHNOLOGIES USED BY AR… Black and white markers

Detection of points through B & W fiducial markers

Affordable, not supported, not secured, fairly weak

Implemented in small non-commercial projects Marker Less Tracking (MLT)

Performs active tracking & recognition of real environment on any type of support (visuals, objects, faces, movement)

Does not use special placed markers Operational on stationary, web or mobile devices

TECHNOLOGIES USED BY AR…(CONT.) Sensor Based Technology

Better user experience due to sensor tags Sensors are used in locations where MLT are less

operational (e.g.: due to lack of light). Send signal to a receiver within range & are able

to curate information pertinent to the individual. GPS and Compass Technology

Mainly found on smartphones and tablets Provide useful local web-content information and

added services in 2D format at the geolocation of the user.

Takes advantage of the devices' GPS and compass features with access to high-speed wireless networks

How is Augmented

Reality different from Virtual

Reality?

User maintains real presence in real world

System augments the real world scene

Supplements the real world with virtual elements

Completely immersive environment

Visual senses are under the control of the system

Replaces the real world with the virtual world
