What is Augmented Reality?

Common Public Perception: Terminator Iron Man Terminator

What is Augmented Reality?

“... a real-time direct or indirect view of a physical real-world environment that has been enhanced / augmented by adding virtual computer-generated information to it.”

Carmigiani et al., Augmented reality technologies, systems and applications (2011)

Augmented Reality: So What?

• We have been augmenting our reality with additional information for a long time…

AR technology has been around for a while, too:

Ivan Sutherland's Head-Mounted Display (1968)

So…

… why is everybody getting interested in it now?

Answer: iPhone / Android / ...

Affordances of New Devices

More processing power

Better/larger displays

Better sensor technology (location, orientation, tilt, movement)

We have come a long way...

Page 23: Learning from Iron Man and the Terminator: Bringing Augmented Reality to Libraries Markus Wust NCSU Libraries TRLN Annual Meeting July 13, 2012.

… but there's still work to do

Page 24: Learning from Iron Man and the Terminator: Bringing Augmented Reality to Libraries Markus Wust NCSU Libraries TRLN Annual Meeting July 13, 2012.

In-Door Location Detection

- GPS does not work in most in-door locations

- Possible solutions:– RFID (Radio Frequency Identification)– Barcodes– Image Recognition

Page 25: Learning from Iron Man and the Terminator: Bringing Augmented Reality to Libraries Markus Wust NCSU Libraries TRLN Annual Meeting July 13, 2012.

Displays

Either:- cumbersome and immersive

Or:

- small, but only viewport

Page 26: Learning from Iron Man and the Terminator: Bringing Augmented Reality to Libraries Markus Wust NCSU Libraries TRLN Annual Meeting July 13, 2012.

Possible Solutions

- AR Glasses

- AR contact lenses
