What is meant by Augmented Reality (AR)?
Augmented Reality (AR) refers to the technology where virtual objects or information are overlaid onto the real world. By using AR, users can augment their physical environment through a device such as a smartphone, AR glasses, or tablet computer with digital elements. These digital elements can include 3D models, text, images, or animations displayed through the device's camera and interacting with the real environment.
Typical functions of software in the field of Augmented Reality (AR) may include:
- Marker detection or environmental feature recognition for placing virtual objects
- Real-time display of virtual information over the device's camera view
- Interactive control and manipulation of virtual objects through user actions
- Integration of object recognition and tracking for precise placement of AR content
- Capability to capture AR experiences through photos or videos
- Support for multi-user AR experiences where multiple users can simultaneously see and interact with virtual content in the same environment
