Augmented Reality"Reality is that which, when you stop believing in it, doesn't go away. "
- Philip K Dick
Augmented reality vs Virtual reality
● Augmented reality is the real-time modification of perceived reality overlaying the modification over the real.
● Virtual reality is completely simulated reality not needing any bearing on real-time reality.
Hardware
● Necessary ○ Display
○ Camera
○ Computer
● Optional○ Sensors
○ Input
Display
● Projection
● Handheld
● Head mounted
● Glasses
● Contacts
● Retinal Display
Projection
Pros: ● Greater resolution than almost any of the other displays.
Cons:● Location constrained.
● Affected by light levels.
Handheld
Pros:● Access to technology
Cons:● Limited field of view
Head Mounted
Pros: ● Removes problems of light contrast that a projection unit has.
● Fast implementation for specific uses[1]
Cons:● Removes peripheral vision and you become constrained to the
camera's view.
Glasses
Pros:● Does not constrain the persons field of view
Cons:● The field of display is not able to work with the users full field of vision
Contacts
Pros:● No obstruction of users vision
Cons:● Having electrical circuitry so close to your eye.
Retinal Display
Pros:● Does not use any type of screen or led
Cons:● Bulkier than many others
Benefits of Augmented Reality
Improving education
● 3D object viewers from the Augmented Reality Development Lab (ARDL)
● More interactive● Benefits visual learners
Aid those with disabilities
● LookTel Recognizer and LookTel Money Reader
● Eye movement tracking● Qualcomm is working
on applications that will “help intellectually disabled workers”
Improvement of reality
● Refrigerators could write your shopping list for you
● Your house could change the environment of a room, to fit the circumstances
● Better display/access of relevant information
Video Games
● More social● Mobility is required● Google’s Ingress
Other benefits?
What would you use augmented reality for?
Cons of AR Technology
Distraction from REAL Reality
● Texting and driving is dangerous AND illegal
● AR would also be dangerous but much harder to make illegal and enforce
● Takes military personnel extensive training to look past HUD
● Pedestrians and AR GPS navigation
Privacy
● Much harder to maintain privacy
● Using AR facial recognition, a digital profile of an individual could be pulled up on anyone that can be seen
Advertising
● The amount of advertising that we have become accustomed to in our browsers would begin to appear in AR
● Billboards would be blank canvases and fill with custom content for individuals
● Looking at a book would bring up “you may also
like…”
Diminished Reality
●The flip side of AR is Diminished Reality●Could edit things out of reality that you don’t want to see●Could edit out homeless on the street to prevent yourself from not feeling guilt about not helping them
Bullying and Harassment
● AR bullying would be invisible to the school authorities
● The ‘kick me’ sign would instead be displayed through the AR tech
● Someone could find nude pictures of others who are walking by simply by looking at them
