How Augmented Reality (AR) is changing our world.
Although AR has been around for some time, new developments and applications of the technology keeps pushing the boundaries of merging the physical real-world environment with virtual computer generated imagery. Many of us have heard about AR but are still somewhat uncertain as to what it exactly entails and what it actually does.
I found an excellent article on the subject on the “howstuffworks” website. Kevin Bonsor, the author of “How Augmented Reality Works” takes the reader though a journey of discovery, starting off with an introduction to the technology, then on to augmenting our world, AR on mobile phones, in video games and the military, and closes with the limitations and future of AR.
Total Immersions, also featured in the article, shows off some of their AR technology. The clip is a bit dated (2004), but still gives a good idea. Visit their website for more recent videos.
