Consider playing an augmented reality board game using a real cereal box as the physical support like in the figure below. First, computer vision processes the raw image from the camera, and recognizes the cereal box. This triggers the game. The rendering module augments the original frame with the AR game making sure it precisely overlaps with the cereal box. For this it uses the 3D position and orientation of the box determined by computer vision.
Since augmented reality is live, all the above has to happen every time a new frame comes from the camera. Most modern phones work at 30 frames per second, which gives us only 30 milliseconds to do all this. In many cases the AR feed you see through the camera is delayed by roughly 50 ms to allow all this to happen, but our brain does not notice! While our brain is extremely good at understanding images, this remains a very difficult problem for computers.
There is a whole branch of Computer Science dedicated to it called computer vision. Augmented reality requires understanding the world around the user in terms of both semantics and 3D geometry. Without geometry, AR content cannot be displayed at the right place and angle, which is essential to make it feel part of the physical world.
Often, we need to develop new techniques for each domain. For example, computer vision methods that work for a cereal box are quite different from those used for a face. Semantics and geometry of the world. Traditionally, computer vision techniques used for understanding these two aspects are quite different.
On the semantics side we have seen much progress thanks to Deep Learning, which typically figures out what is in an image without worrying about its 3D geometry. On its own, it enables basic forms of AR. For example, whenever computer vision recognizes an object we could display relevant information floating on the screen, but it will not look anchored to the physical object. To do this would require the geometric side of Computer Vision, which builds on concepts from projective geometry 2.
To clear the confusion, VR works with a complete immersion of another world. These devices let users experience the actual maneuvering of the plane in the runway. These features led to massive interest in both AR and VR technologies. However, the world of digital and physical integration does not stop with AR and VR at all.
The interest in augmented reality and its application continues to grow. Perkins Cole surveyed startup founders and company technologists. Even though some products are AR-related, users still consider it as a virtual reality concept. With that, several startups still battle the massive adoption of AR technology. Meaning, startups still have more chances to implement augmented reality in different areas. It is not just about augmentation; it is now immersive entertainment.
From games to music to sports, AR is great for entertainment. AR continues to evolve in this area as consumers get more immersive experiences. Second, AR with music changes how people listen to music. Live music with AR-effects makes the show memorable and marketable. Lastly, AR in eSports is a perfect combination that offers a more natural feel and improved mobility among players.
Hunting a perfectly designed house that boasts of your style and statement is daunting. But, augmented reality eases the burden as realtors use interactive computer-generated images to lure buyers.
These applications allow the buyers to envision the finished property even though it is still under construction. How is this possible? Augmented reality can transform all 2D construction models into 3D. These include blueprints and photos that transform into 3D models for buyers to have an immersive experience. And not only that, interested buyers can customize everything according to their preference.
AR can help buyers change colors, furniture designs, room aesthetics, etc. Ultimately, AR is an advantageous marketing tool for selling a property. Augmented reality is a great help for healthcare organizations in improving their existing processes. In the case of critical surgeries, AR will provide surgeons with an in-depth knowledge of the risks involved. Additionally, AR aids medical breakthroughs to simulate early detection for cancerous tumor growth and neurological diseases.
Healthcare organizations and technopreneurs believe that AR offers a huge impact on the industry. View Results.
