Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality-Cross platform theory-intro
- 1. Cross Platform Theory in AR / VR
- 2. Introduction ● Immersive development - AR & VR ● Depends on the perspective of the Designer and Developer. ● As AR focuses more on real world settings and VR is completely virtual, it is mandatory to focus more on development constraints. (AR is 25% Virtual and 75% real & VR is 25% real and 75% virtual)
- 3. How does AR & VR works? ● AR uses Computer Vision, Mapping & Tracking to show the appropriate content to the end user. ● VR simulates the vision. ● Eliminates the contact with the physical world.
- 4. Mixed Reality ( Immersive Application Development) ● Mixed Reality is a hybrid of Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality. ● In Mixed Reality , a computer-generated or digitally created graphics is blended with real-world view. ● it furthermore helps in anchoring and interacting with objects virtually placed in actual world environment. ● Both AR and VR works in different environments, it is mandatory to focus more on platform centric issues so that the application must results in MR. ● AR development platforms - Unity, ARCore, HoloLink, Vuforia, EasryAR, SparkAR, Apple ARKit ● VR development platforms - Unity, UnReal Engine, VRTK, OpenVR, Amazon Sumerian, CryEngine,OculusMedium, GearVR
- 5. Why Cross Platform development is needed? ● Lower Development Cost. ● Unified look and feel across multiple platforms. ● Effective resource management. ● Opportunities to reach wider audience. ● Simplified Process. ● Portability. ● Adaptable to alternative hardware platforms.
