:AUGMENTED REALITY:

Abstract:
Most of us love playing video games it often brings out the child inside
from all of us. Over the generations video games have evolved from
time to time. If it started with big kiosk type machines which consumed
a lot of space and now we have small portable PlayStation from Sony
which we can carry anywhere or everywhere we want. Still the
consumers are not satisfied as most gaming contents offer only 2-D or
3-D perspective and lacks a real feel to it.

We have currently wireless sticks which we can connect to the gaming

consoles in the market which is somewhat close to reality as we can
play games like golf and tennis by using this stick as rackets or clubs.
The search of a real gaming experience went on and that gave birth to
an unique concept called augmented reality or AR.

AR provides a real time world environment and allows the viewers to

interact with game live. This happens with the help of various
augmented factors such as audio, visual, computer graphics and even
global positioning input. Augmented reality synchronizes the
environment with the graphical structure to provide an ultimate virtual
reality gaming experience. A user has to wear special type of glasses to
absorb this technology and as more research is done on this topic in the
coming years, we can expect even better results happening.

Some of the areas we can use Augmented Reality:

Video gaming consoles and mobile gaming

Virtual keyboard :AUGMENTED REALITY:

Some of the areas we can use Augmented Reality:

Video gaming consoles and mobile gaming

Virtual keyboard

Head mounted displays

Virtual retina displays

Location tracking and mapping

Sports telecasting

Automobile engineering

Information technology

Medical instruments

Projectors

AR technology mainly works with the help of the sensors and is also a
stretched virtual reality technology. The users will be able to experience
a real experience while using this technology, for e.g. if we are watching
a live telecast of a game, AR will give us the same ambiance of sitting
inside that stadium. AR is certainly one technology to look for the
future.
