Augmented reality (AR) is a term for a live direct or indirect view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data. It is related to a more general concept called mediated reality, in which a view of reality is modified (possibly even diminished rather than augmented) by a computer. As a result, the technology functions by enhancing one’s current perception of reality. By contrast, virtual reality replaces the real world with a simulated one.

Augmentation is conventionally in real-time and in semantic context with environmental elements, such as sports scores on TV during a match. With the help of advanced AR technology (e.g. adding computer vision and object recognition) the information about the surrounding real world of the user becomes interactive and digitally manipulable. Artificial information about the environment and its objects can be overlaid on the real world. The term augmented reality is believed to have been coined in 1990 by Thomas Caudell, working at Boeing.[1]

Research explores the application of computer-generated imagery in live-video streams as a way to enhance the perception of the real world. AR technology includes head-mounted displays and virtual retinal displays for visualization purposes, and construction of controlled environments containing sensors and actuators.

Definition

Ronald Azuma offered a definition in 1997.[2]R. Azuma, A Survey of Augmented Reality Presence: Teleo On a graph, the origin R at the bottom left denotes unmodified reality. A continuum across the Virtuality axis V includes reality augmented with additional information (AR), as well as virtual reality augmented by reality (Augmented Virtuality or AV). Unmediated AV simulations are constrained to match the real world behaviorally if not in contents.

The mediality axis measures modification of AV, AR and mixes thereof. Moving away from the origin on this axis, the depicted world becomes increasingly different from reality. Diagonally opposite from R are virtual worlds that have no connection to reality. (at right) It includes the virtuality reality continuum (mixing) but also, in addition to additive effects, also includes modulation and/or diminishment of reality. Mediation encompasses deliberate and/or unintentional modifications.[citation needed]

Examples

Sports

AR has become common in sports telecasting. The yellow "first down" line seen in television broadcasts of American football games shows the line the offensive team must cross to receive a first down using the 1st & Ten system. The real-world elements are the football field and players, and the virtual element is the yellow line, which augments the image in real time.

AR is also used in European football to show the result (or an advertisement) in the center circle. It could also be see showing the offside situations.

Similarly, in ice hockey an AR colored trail shows location and direction of the puck. Sections of Rugby fields and cricket pitches display sponsored images.

Swimming telecasts often add a line across the lanes to indicate the position of the current record holder as a race proceeds to allow viewers to compare the current race to the best performance.

As an example of mediated (diminished) reality, the network may hide a real message or replace a real ad message with a virtual message.i

Nintendo 3DS

The Nintendo 3DS comes with cards that allow the player to play games (fishing, archery etc.) and take photos of Mii characters/Nintendo stars (Mario, Kirby etc.) The AR Cards can also be used in some games such as Nintendogs + Cats.

PlayStation Vita

The upcoming Sony PlayStation Vita has shown demos of games and tools that use the device's camera and potentially AR cards to create objects such as a race car track.

Other

First-person shooter video games can simulate a player's viewpoint using AR to give visual directions to a location, mark the direction distance of another person who is not in line of sight and give information about equipment such as remaining ammunition. This is done using a virtual head-up display.[citation needed]

Heads-up displays in AR cars such as some BMW 7 Series models or within airplanes are typically integrated into the windshield.

The F-35 Lightning II instead display information in the pilot's helmet mounted display, which allows the pilot to look through the aircraft's walls as if he was floating in space.[3]

Technology

Hardware

The main hardware components for augmented reality are: processor, display, sensors and input devices. These elements, specifically CPU, display, camera and MEMS sensors such as accelerometer, GPS, solid state compass are often present in modern smartphones, which make them prospective AR platforms.

Display

There are three major display techniques for Augmented Reality: head–mounted displays, handheld displays and spatial displays.

Head–mounted

A Head Mounted Display (HMD) places images of both the physical world and registered virtual graphical objects over the user's view of the world. The HMD's are either optical see–through or video see–through. Optical see-through employs half-silver mirrors to pass images through the lens and overlay information to be reflected into the user's eyes. The HMD must be tracked with sensor that provides six degrees of freedom. This tracking allows the system to align virtual information to the physical world. The main advantage of HMD AR is the user's immersive experience. The graphical information is slaved to the view of the user.[12]

Handheld

Handheld displays employ a small display that fits in a user's hand. All handheld AR solutions to date opt for video see-through. Initially handheld AR employed fiduciary markers, and later GPS units and MEMS sensors such as digital compasses and six degrees of freedom accelerometer–gyroscope. Today SLAM markerless trackers such as PTAM are starting to come into use. Handheld display AR promises to be the first commercial success for AR technologies. The two main advantages of handheld AR is the portable nature of handheld devices and ubiquitous nature of camera phones. The disadvantages are the physical constraints of the user having to hold the handheld device out in front of them at all times as well as distorting effect of classically wide-angled mobile phone cameras when compared to the real world as viewed through the eye. [13]

Spatial

Instead of the user wearing or carrying the display such as with head mounted displays or handheld devices, Spatial Augmented Reality (SAR) [9] makes use of digital projectors to display graphical information onto physical objects. The key difference in SAR is that the display is separated from the users of the system. Because the displays are not associated with each user, SAR scales naturally up to groups of users, thus allowing for collocated collaboration between users. SAR has several advantages over traditional head mounted displays and handheld devices. The user is not required to carry equipment or wear the display over their eyes. This makes spatial AR a good candidate for collaborative work, as the users can see each other’s faces. A system can be used by multiple people at the same time without each having to wear a head mounted display. Spatial AR does not suffer from the limited display resolution of current head mounted displays and portable devices. A projector based display system can simply incorporate more projectors to expand the display area. Where portable devices have a small window into the world for drawing, a SAR system can display on any number of surfaces of an indoor setting at once. The drawbacks, however, are that SAR systems of projectors do not work so well in sunlight and also require a surface on which to project the computer-generated graphics. Augmentations cannot simply hang in the air as they do with handheld and HMD-based AR. The tangible nature of SAR, though, makes this an ideal technology to support design, as SAR supports both a graphical visualisation and passive haptic sensation for the end users. People are able to touch physical objects, and it is this process that provides the passive haptic sensation. [2] [9] [14] [15][16]

Tracking

Modern mobile augmented reality systems use one or more of the following tracking technologies: digital cameras and/or other optical sensors, accelerometers, GPS, gyroscopes, solid state compasses, RFID and wireless sensors. These technologies offer varying levels of accuracy and precision. Most important is the position and orientation of the user's head. Tracking the user's hand(s) or a handheld input device can provide a 6DOF interaction technique.[17]

Input devices

Techniques include the pinch glove,[18] a wand with a button and a smartphone that signals its position and orientation from camera images.

Computer

The computer analyzes the sensed visual and other data to synthesize and position augmentations.

Software and algorithms

A key measure of AR systems is how realistically they integrate augmentations with the real world. The software must derive real world coordinates, independent from the camera, from camera images. That process is called image registration and is part of Azuma's definition of Augmented Reality.

Image registration uses different methods of computer vision, mostly related to video tracking. Many computer vision methods of augmented reality are inherited from visual odometry. Usually those methods consist of two parts. First detect interest points, or fiduciary markers, or optical flow in the camera images. First stage can use feature detection methods like corner detection, blob detection, edge detection or thresholding and/or other image processing methods.

The second stage restores a real world coordinate system from the data obtained in the first stage. Some methods assume objects with known geometry (or fiduciary markers) present in the scene. In some of those cases the scene 3D structure should be precalculated beforehand. If part of the scene is unknown simultaneous localization and mapping (SLAM) can map relative positions. If no information about scene geometry is available, structure from motion methods like bundle adjustment are used. Mathematical methods used in the second stage include projective (epipolar) geometry, geometric algebra, rotation representation with exponential map, kalman and particle filters, nonlinear optimization, robust statistics.

Applications

Applications as of 2011

Advertising: Usage of AR to promote products via interactive AR applications is becoming common now. For example Nissan(2008 LA Auto Show),[19] Best Buy(2009)[20] and others used webcam based AR to connect 3D models with printed materials. There are numerous examples of connecting mobile AR to outdoor advertising[21][22]

Task support: Complex tasks such as assembly, maintenance, and surgery can be simplified by inserting additional information into the field of view. For example, labels can be displayed on parts of a system to clarify operating instructions for a mechanic who is performing maintenance on the system.[23][24] AR can include images of hidden objects, which can be particularly effective for medical diagnostics or surgery. Examples include a virtual X-ray view based on prior tomography or on real time images from ultrasound and microconfocal probes[25] or open NMR devices. AR can enhance viewing a fetus inside a mother's womb.[26] See also Mixed reality.

Navigation: AR can augment the effectiveness of navigation devices. For example, building navigation can be enhanced to aid in maintaining industrial plants. Outdoor navigation can be augmented for military operations or disaster management. Head-up displays or personal display glasses in automobiles can provide navigation and traffic information. Head-up displays are currently used in fighter jets. These systems include full interactivity, including gaze tracking.

Industrial: AR can be used to compare digital mock-ups with physical mock-ups for efficiently finding discrepancies between them. It can safeguard digital data together with existing real prototypes, and thus reduce the number of real prototypes and improve the quality of the final product.[citation needed]

Military and emergency services: Wearable AR can provide information such as instructions, maps, enemy locations, and fire cells.

Art: AR can help create art in real time integrating reality such as painting, drawing and modeling. AR art technology has helped disabled individuals to continue pursuing their passion.[27]

Architecture: AR can simulate planned construction projects.[28]

Sightseeing: Guides can include labels or text related to the objects/places visited. With AR, users can rebuild ruins, buildings, or even landscapes as they previously existed.[29]

Time: Historical events such as battle reenactments can be augmented onto current landscapes.

Collaboration: AR can help facilitate collaboration among distributed team members via conferences with real and virtual participants.[30]

Entertainment and education: AR can create virtual objects in museums and exhibitions, theme park attractions,[31] games[32][33] and books.[34]

Performance: AR can enhance concert and theater performances. For example, artists can allow listeners to augment their listening experience by adding their performance to that of other bands/groups of users.[35][36][37]

Translation: AR systems can provide dynamic subtitles in the user's language.[38][39]

Potential applications

Possible extensions include:[citation needed]

  • Devices: Create new applications that are physically impossible in "real" hardware, such as 3D objects interactively changing their shape and appearance based on the current task or need.
  • Multi-screen simulation: Display multiple application windows as virtual monitors in real space and switch among them with gestures and/or redirecting head and eyes. A single pair of glasses could "surround" a user with application windows.
  • Holodecks: Enhanced media applications, like pseudo holographic virtual screens and virtual surround cinema.
  • Automotive: eye-dialing, navigation arrows on roadways
  • "X-ray vision"
  • Furnishings: plants, wallpapers, panoramic views, artwork, decorations, posters, illumination etc. For example, a virtual window could show a live feed of a camera placed on the exterior of the building, thus allowing the user to toggle a wall's transparency.
  • Public displays: Window dressings, traffic signs, Christmas decorations, advertisements, interactive dressing room mirrors.
  • Gadgets: Clock, radio, PC, arrival/departure board at an airport, stock ticker, PDA, PMP, informational posters/fliers/billboards.
  • Group-specific feeds: For example, a construction manager could display instructions including diagrams at specific locations. Patrons at a public event could subscribe to a feed of directions and/or program notes.
  • Speech synthesis: Render location/context-specific information via spoken words.
  • Prospecting: In hydrology, ecology, and geology, AR can be used to display an interactive analysis of terrain characteristics. Users can collaboratively modify and analyze, interactive three-dimensional maps.
