WHAT IS AUGMENTED REALITY?
• A combination of a real scene viewed by a
user and a virtual scene generated by a
computer that augments the scene with
additional information.

J.A.R.V.I.S. CONCEPT OF AR
AUGMENTED REALITY VS.
VIRTUAL REALITY
Augmented Reality
• System augments the
real world scene
• User maintains a sense
of presence in real world
• Needs a mechanism to
combine virtual and real
worlds
• Hard to register real and
virtual
Virtual Reality
• Totally immersive
environment
• Senses are under control
of system
• Need a mechanism to
feed virtual world to
user
• Hard to make VR world
interesting

Virtuality (AV)
Milgram coined the term “Augmented Virtuality ” to
identify systems which are mostly synthetic with some real
world imagery added such as texture mapping video onto
virtual objects.
COMBINING THE REAL AND
VIRTUAL WORLDS
We need:
• Precise models
• Locations and optical properties of the viewer (or camera)
and the display
• Calibration of all devices
• To combine all local coordinate systems centered on the
devices and the objects in the scene in a global coordinate
system
Con..
• Register models of all 3D objects of interest with their
counterparts in the scene
• Track the objects over time when the user moves and
interacts with the scene
REALISTIC MERGING
Requires:
• Objects to behave in physically plausible manners
when manipulated
• Occlusion
• Collision detection
• Shadows
FAILURES IN REGISTRATION
Failures in registration due to:
• Noise
• Position and pose of camera with respect to the real
scene
• Image distortions
• Time delays
• In calculating the camera position
DISPLAY TECHNOLOGIES
• Monitor Based
• Laptops
• Cell phones
• Projectors (more Ubiquitous Computing)
• Head Mounted Displays:
• Video see-through
• Optical see-through
MONITOR BASED AUGMENTED
REALITY
• Simplest available
• Treat laptop/PDA/cell phone as a window through
which you can see AR world.
• Sunglasses demo
MONITOR BASED AR
• Successful commercialization
• Yellow line in football broadcasts
• Glowing hockey puck
• Baseball cards
• Ad campaigns
OPTICAL SEE-THROUGH HMD
VIDEO SEE-THROUGH HMD
USES OF AUGMENTED REALITY
•Interactive in real-time
•Real time processing
•Data can be generated in real time
Con..
•Registered in three dimensions
•Imagery is in 3D
•Graphics and Models are created by
Designers
Con..
• Video Games
• Physical interactions with 3D models
• Presentations
• Can now be more interactive
• Television
• You will be able to watch TV in 3D any where
• Theme Park
• Rides can now be even more realistic
• Simulations
• Driving, Flying, Etc…
