Augmented reality Plays important role in Mobile app development
- 2. What Is Augmented Reality (AR)? Augmented reality is the integration of digital information with the user's environment in real time. Unlike virtual reality, which creates a totally artificial environment, augmented reality uses the existing environment and overlays new information on top of it. www.gsbitlabs.com

- 4. How do AR Works? It combines the real and virtual things, interacts in real time and is implemented in 3D. In order to create an augmented reality, the following things should be used: a processor, a display, a camera and defining position electronics such as an accelerometer, GPS, and a compass. www.gsbitlabs.com

- 6. 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 www.gsbitlabs.com

- 8. Current Uses Of AR Construction Augmented reality in construction and architecture projects involves placing a 3D model of a proposed design onto an existing space using mobile devices and 3D models. AR has been used in video gaming and media entertainment for a much longer period of time to show a real image interacting with one created from computer graphics. Its utilization matured in the architecture and construction industries www.gsbitlabs.com
- 9. Current Uses Of AR DIY Car Repair The technology industry has made leaps in usability of their hardware. Things are very modular and usually well documented. Sadly, the automotive industry hasn’t quite caught up yet. Every vehicle seems to change where parts are located and how they all work together. Trying to track down specific information on your vehicle can be a project in of itself. In globe Technologies released a demo to assist with this, giving you a heads up display of the relevant areas of your car www.gsbitlabs.com
- 10. Current Uses Of AR Learning to Cook A team at the Tokyo Institute of Technology is working on a system that could be integrated into stoves to help people learn to cook. There’s definitely more than meets the eye with this concept. The pan can actually simulate the weight of the food as well interaction with it (flipping a steak over, for example). It also can read temperatures, which allows it to simulate cooking. All this information is used to create a realistic AR immersion of cooking your meal. Burnt food may be a thing of the past, with everyone being able to do dry runs of a new meal before taking on the challenge. www.gsbitlabs.com
- 11. Current Uses Of AR GPS Turn-by-turn Navigation Navigation has been a popular area of research in both academia and industry. Combined with maps, and different localization technologies, navigation systems have become robust and more usable. By combining navigation with augmented reality, it can be improved further to become realistic and user friendly. This paper surveys existing researches carried out in this area, describes existing techniques for building augmented reality navigation systems, and the problems faced. www.gsbitlabs.com

- 13. Future of AR The things have been changed today, and AR is even now available on a mobile handset. AR will develop side-by-side with the mobile technologies, and for example - more Augmented Reality applications that provide additional information will enhances what is already there. There are so many areas that AR can be involved and maybe the most important is computer games that also includes the mobile games. In the following areas AR can also be used and that includes: www.gsbitlabs.com
- 14. Future of AR Military e.g. used in military to provide locations of enemy positions Medical Research e.g. about anatomy training for medical students Education e.g. to explore the aspects of an ancient civilization as part of a history lesson Marketing and Commercial e.g. can be used to promote a new product Industry e.g. helping with prototyping (engineering) Safety e.g. used as part of a road safety campaign Art and Architecture e.g. as part of a mixed media artwork www.gsbitlabs.com
