Augmented Reality Paper Presentation And PPT PDF

Computers are becoming increasingly portable and ubiquitous, as recent progress in hardware technology has produced computers that are small enough to carry easily or even to wear. However, these computers often referred to as PDAs (Personal Digital Assistant) or palmtops are not suitable for traditional user-interface techniques such as the desk-top metaphor or the WIMP (window, icon, mouse, and a pointing device) interface. The fundamental limitations of GUIs are: Explicit operations, Unaware of the real world situations, Gaps between the computer world and the real world. Inorder to address these problems, a research field called computer augmented environments has been emerged. Augmented reality (AR) is a variant of virtual reality that uses see-through head mounted displays to overlay computer generated images on the user's real sight. AR systems currently developed use only locational information to generate images. This is because the research focus of AR is currently on implementing correct registration of 3D images on a real scene. However, by incorporating other external factors such as real world IDs, the usefulness of AR could be much more improved.
