3. WHAT IS AUGMENTED REALI
(AR)?
• Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that overlays
digital content on the real-world environment, providing
a composite view that enhances a person’s interaction
with the world around them

6. HARDWARE SOFTWARE
AR Devices:
Smartphones,
tablets, AR glasses
(e.g., Microsoft
HoloLens, Magic
Leap), and headsets.
These devices display
augmented content
by overlaying it on the
real world.
Sensors and Cameras:
These capture the real-
world environment and
track the user's position
and movement
Processors:
Devices need
powerful CPUs and
GPUs to render AR
content in real time.
AR Software
Development Kits
(SDKs):
Tools like ARKit (Apple),
ARCore (Google),
SLAM Technology:
Ensures accurate mapping
of the environment and
positioning of AR objects in
real-time.

7. HISTORY OF
AUGMENTED
REALITY
1960s-1980s: Early concepts, like Sensorama (1962) and Ivan Sutherland's Sword of Damocles (1968),
laid the groundwork for immersive technologies.
2000s: The release of ARToolkit (2000) and apps like Layar (2008) brought AR to the mobile space.
2010s: Google Glass (2013) and Pokémon GO (2016) made AR mainstream, while Apple and Google
launched ARKit and ARCore for app development.
2020s: AR is now used in industries like healthcare and education, with AR glasses and AI integration
shaping its future.
AR has transitioned from experimental tech to a mainstream tool with growing applications across
various sectors.

• Integration with the Physical World: Digital content interacts with the real environment.
• Contextual Awareness: AR adapts based on location or surroundings.
• 3D Content: Often uses 3D models for a more immersive experience.
• Tracking and Mapping: Uses sensors to track and align virtual content.
• Device Dependent: Requires devices like smartphones, tablets, or AR glasses.
• User-Centric: Allows interaction via touch, gestures, or voice.
• Location-Based: Provides location-specific experiences.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS OF AR
10. 1] MARKER-BASED AR
10
• This type uses physical markers, like QR
codes or special images, which are
recognized by a device's camera. Once
detected, digital content is overlaid onto or
around the marker.
11. 2] MARKERLESS AR
11
• Also known as location-based AR, it doesn't
rely on markers but instead uses GPS, or
other sensors to place digital content based
on the user's location or movement.
12. 12
3] PROJECTION-
BASED AR
• This type involves projecting digital
content directly onto physical surfaces.
The projected images are interactive
and respond to user input
13. 13
4] SUPERIMPOSITION-
BASED AR
• This type replaces or enhances parts of the
real-world view with digital content. It can
change how the user perceives reality by
replacing or adding digital elements.

OUTLINING
AR
• This technique focuses on enhancing the
visibility of objects in the real world by outlining
them or highlighting certain features, often
used in industrial applications.
• Highlighting an object’s edges to make it easier
to identify or track in real-time.
17. POKEMON
GO
• Pokémon GO,developed by Niantic, is one
of the most famous AR applications,
allowing players to find and catch virtual
Pokémon in the real world.

18. IKEA
• IKEA launched the IKEA Place
app, allowing users to
visualize furniture in their
homes using AR before
purchasing.
• Customers could view true-to-
scale 3D models of products in
their rooms,

19. LENSKART
• USING AR TECHNOLOGY, YOU
CAN CREATE A 3D MESH OF
YOUR FACE WITHIN 5 SECONDS
AND TRY ON AS MANY AS 10,000
DESIGNS IN ONE SEATING.

21. • AR TRANSFORMS TEXTBOOKS
INTO INTERACTIVE LEARNING
EXPERIENCES BY BRINGING STATIC
IMAGES TO LIFE, MAKING
LEARNING MORE ENGAGING.

DEFENSE
• THE MILITARY USES AR FOR
REALISTIC TRAINING
SIMULATIONS, HELPING
SOLDIERS PREPARE FOR REAL-
WORLD MISSIONS IN A VIRTUAL
ENVIRONMENT.

23. ARCHITECTURE AND
CONSTRUCTION
• ARCHITECTS AND
DESIGNERS USE AR TO
OVERLAY 3D MODELS
OF BUILDINGS AND
STRUCTURES ONTO
PHYSICAL SPACES,
HELPING CLIENTS
VISUALIZE PLANS
BEFORE

Healthcar
e:
• In medicine, AR helps in surgery
planning and education. Surgeons can
overlay critical information (like 3D
models of organs) during procedures.
• AR can also assist with patient
rehabilitation by providing guided
exercises.
25. 25
NAVIGATI
ON:
• AR can improve navigation
experiences.
• For example, apps can display
directions in real time on the road,
like showing arrows or points of
interest overlaid on the street view.
