    Augmented reality allows users to overlay virtual content into the physical world, merging the digital and physical. It works using AR-enabled hardware like smartphones, cameras, and sensors to map the environment and track the user's location. Some early examples include experimental devices from the 1950s and heads-up displays in fighter jets, while modern uses include apps like Pokemon Go, Snapchat filters, medical training, design/modeling, and both VR and AR devices from companies like HTC, Google, and Microsoft.

    What is AR?

    • A digital medium that allows you to overlay virtual content


    into the physical world in a way that makes it seem like the
    content is physically there
    • It allows us to merge the physical and digital world
    How AR actually works?
    For it to work you need:
    • AR enabled hardware
    • System of cameras
    • 3D depth sensors
    The hardware maps your surrounding enviornment and builds a model of
    it using hardware sensors and specialized software.
    It also keeps track of where you are in relation to your enviornment.

    History of AR

    • Augmented reality was first achieved, to some extent, by a


    cinematographer called Morton Heilig in 1957
    • He invented the Sensorama which delivered visuals, sounds,
    vibration and smell to the viewer
    • It was used on heads-up displays on fighter jets allowing pilots to
    see important information projected in front of them on their
    windshields
    Modern use

    Snapchat Filters

    Augmented vs Virtual Reality
    • AR uses a real-world setting • VR is completely virtual
    • AR users can control their • VR users are controlled by the
    presence in the real world system
    • AR can be accessed with a • VR requires a headset device
    smartphone
    • VR only enhances a fictional
    • AR enhances both the virtual reality
    and real world
