WHAT IS AUGMENTEDREALI
(AR)?
âą Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that overlays
digital content on the real-world environment, providing
a composite view that enhances a personâs interaction
with the world around them

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.

âą Integration withthe Physical World: Digital content interacts with the real environment.
âą Contextual Awareness: AR adapts based on location or surroundings.
âą 3D Content: Often uses 3D models for a more immersive experience.
âą Tracking and Mapping: Uses sensors to track and align virtual content.
âą Device Dependent: Requires devices like smartphones, tablets, or AR glasses.
âą User-Centric: Allows interaction via touch, gestures, or voice.
âą Location-Based: Provides location-specific experiences.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS OF AR
1] MARKER-BASED AR
10
âąThis 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
âąAlso 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.

3] PROJECTION-
BASED AR
âąThis type involves projecting digital
content directly onto physical surfaces.
The projected images are interactive
and respond to user input

4] SUPERIMPOSITION-
BASED AR
âąThis 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
âą This techniquefocuses on enhancing the
visibility of objects in the real world by outlining
them or highlighting certain features, often
used in industrial applications.
âą Highlighting an objectâs edges to make it easier
to identify or track in real-time.
IKEA
âą IKEA launchedthe IKEA Place
app, allowing users to
visualize furniture in their
homes using AR before
purchasing.
âą Customers could view true-to-
scale 3D models of products in
their rooms,

Healthcar
e:
âą In medicine,AR helps in surgery
planning and education. Surgeons can
overlay critical information (like 3D
models of organs) during procedures.
âą AR can also assist with patient
rehabilitation by providing guided
exercises.

NAVIGATI
ON:
âą AR canimprove navigation
experiences.
âą For example, apps can display
directions in real time on the road,
like showing arrows or points of
interest overlaid on the street view.
