What is reality technology?
Emerging technologies are transforming several
industries acting as a catalyst for change and
acceleration. As social, mobile, Big Data Analytics,
Internet of Things and Cloud technologies
democratize computing power and information
access, Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality App
Development continue to strengthen enterprise-to-
employee and enterprise-to-consumer interactions.
Reality technology is rapidly increasing its
applications and reach for the above motive.
 The story of the subtle differences

To cut a long story short, here’s the difference

between virtual, augmented, and mixed reality
technologies:
Virtual reality (VR) immerses users in a fully
artificial digital environment.
Augmented reality (AR) overlays virtual
objects on the real-world environment.
Mixed reality (MR) not just overlays but
anchors virtual objects to the real world.
What do the statistics
speak?
• Goldman Sachs predicted that the VR and AR hardware market will touch $80
billion by 2025.
• Citibank expects the market for VR hardware, networks, software and content to
reach $200 billion by 2020.
• More than 14 million U.S. workers will wear augmented reality headsets in 2025.
• According to ABI Research, AR headsets will deliver $46 billion in revenue by
2021, whereas VR will generate $15 billion.
• AR will focus primarily on the enterprise, while VR will emerge as a consumer
play.
 The hype around virtual reality

This technology immerses users in a completely virtual environment that is generated by a

computer. The most advanced VR experiences even provide freedom of movement – users can move
in a digital environment and hear sounds. Moreover, special hand controllers can be used to
enhance VR experiences. You need to wear a special VR headset to experience virtual reality. Most
standalone VR headsets work in combination with smartphones – you insert a smartphone, wear a
headset, and immerse in the virtual reality. 360-degree videos are considered a form of VR.
 History
 More than one person has been involved in the development of
this technological system.
 In 1950’s visionary cinematography Morton Heilig built a single
user console called Sensorama. This enabled the user watch
television in 3 dimensional ways.
 Types of Virtual

Immersive Virtual Reality
Immersion into virtual reality is a perception of being
physically present in a non-physical world.

Elements of virtual environments that increase the

immersiveness of the experience:

1. Continuity of surroundings
2. Conformance to human vision
3. Freedom of movement
4. Physical interaction
5. Physical feedback
Non-Immersive Virtual Reality

Large display, but doesn’t surround the user.

Window on world Virtual
Reality
Desktop- based Virtual Reality involves displaying a
3-dimensional virtual on regular desktop display without use of
any specialized movement tracking environment.
Applications of Virtual Reality

1. Virtual Reality in the Military

2.Virtual Reality in Healthcare
4.Virtual Reality and Scientific Visualization
5.Virtual Reality in Entertainment
Advantages and
Disadvantages
Advantages
Virtual reality creates a
realistic world.
It enables user to explore
places.
Through Virtual Reality
user can experiment with
an artificial environment.
Virtual Reality make the
education more easily and
comfort.
Disadvantages
The equipments used in
virtual reality are very
expensive.
It consists of complex
technology.
In virtual reality
environment we cant
move by our own like in
the real world.
Augmented Reality
In augmented reality, users see and interact
with the real world while digital content is Wonders of
added to it. If this sounds unclear think of
Pokémon Go – millions of people all over
augmented
the world have been rushing with their reality
smartphones in search for small virtual
creatures. That’s the most vivid example of
augmented reality.
If you own a modern smartphone, you can
easily download an AR app and try this
technology.
 Applications of AR:
• Dulux Visualizer helps you try out a shade of paint for your room
before you buy. Just use your smartphone camera to scan your
room and virtually paint it with any color of the rainbow.

• In critical situations, augmented reality applications can deliver

real-time information to the treatment area to support diagnosis
surgery and treatment plans.
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
• Mixed reality that starts with the real world –
virtual objects are not just overlaid on the
real world but can interact with it. In this
case, a user remains in the real-world
environment while digital content is added to
it; moreover, a user can interact with virtual
objects. This form of mixed reality can be
considered an advanced form of AR.
• Mixed reality that starts with the virtual world –
the digital environment is anchored to and
replaces the real world. In this case, a user is
fully immersed in the virtual environment
while the real world is blocked out.
