AUGMENTED REALITY
ABSTRACT

Video games have been entertaining us for nearly 30 years, ever since Pong was introduced to arcades in the early II 970â„¢s.Computer graphics have become much more sophisticated since then, and soon, game graphics will seem all too real. In the next decade, researchers plan to pull graphics out of your television screen or computer display and integrate them into real- world environments. This new technology called augmented reality, will further blur the line between what ....etc

Definition
Augmented reality (AR) refers to computer displays that add virtual information to a user's sensory perceptions. Most AR research focuses on see-through devices, usually worn on the head that overlay graphics and text on the user's view of his or her surroundings. In general it superimposes graphics over a real world environment in real time.
Getting the right information at the right time and the right place is key in all these applications. Personal digital assistants such as the Palm and the Pocket PC can provide timely informat ....etc

1. Introduction
Data dealing with our spatial environment move more and more from 2D representations to actual 3D worlds. Maps, aerial photographs are more and more replaced by 3D models in which the relief and the characteristics of the elements (building, vegetation...) in the scene appear. This visualisation mode of information is more natural for a user because it better corresponds to its perception of a real environment. Many applications can benefit from this 3D modeling of the data: civil safety (intervention after natural disasters ....etc

An Augmented Reality system supplements the real world with virtual (computer-generated) objects that appear to coexist in the same space as the real world. While many researchers broaden the definition of AR beyond this vision, we can generally find Augmented Reality system to have the following properties: 1) Combines real and virtual objects in a real environment; 2) Runs interactively, and in real time; 3) Aligns real and virtual objects with each other.
Augment Reality can be thought of as a ?middle ground? between Virtual Environment (co ....etc

Streaming Mobile Augmented Reality on Mobile Phones

ABSTRACT

Continuous recognition and tracking of objects in live video captured on a mobile device enables real-time user interaction. We demonstrate a streaming mobile augmented reality system with 1 second latency. User interest is automatically inferred from camera movements, so the user never has to press a button. Our system is used to identify and track book and CD covers in real time on a phoneâ„¢s viewfinder. Efficient motion estimation is performed a ....etc

Technology has advanced to the point where realism in virtual reality is very achievable. However, in our obsession to reproduce the world and human experience in virtual space, we overlook the most important aspects of what makes us who we are”our reality. One must capture the imagination in order to create truly compelling experiences.Augmented reality will truly change the way we view the world. Picture yourself walking or driving down the street. With augmented-reality d ....etc

Augmented Reality
Introduction
Augmented Reality (AR) is a growing area in virtual reality research. The world environment around us provides a wealth of information that is difficult to duplicate in a computer. This is evidenced by the worlds used in virtual environments. Either these worlds are very simplistic such as the environments created for immersive entertainment and games, or the system that can create a more realistic environment has a million dollar price tag such as flight simulators. A ....etc

ABSTRACT

Augmented reality (AR) refers to computer displays that add virtual information to a user's sensory perceptions. Most AR research focuses on see-through devices, usually worn on the head that overlay graphics and text on the user's view of his or her surroundings. AR systems track the position and orientation of the user's head so that the overlaid material can be aligned with the user's view of the world.
Consider what AR could make routinely possible. A repairperson viewing a broken piece of equipment could see instructions ....etc

Augmented Reality in a Contact Lens
A new generation of contact lenses built with very small circuits and LEDs promises bionic eyesight

The human eye is a perceptual powerhouse. It can see millions of colors, adjust easily to shifting light conditions, and transmit information to the brain at a rate exceeding that of a high-speed Internet connection.
