1. IntroductionAugmented Reality :

An Augmented Reality system generates a composite view for the user. It’s a combination of the real scene viewed by the user and a virtual scene generated by the computer that augments the scene with additional information.

AR systems have the following three properties:1. Blends real and virtual, in real environment2. Interactive in real time 3. Registered in 3D

2. Virtual Reality (VR)“A computer generated, interactive, three-

dimensional environment in which a person is immersed.”

Requires high performance computer graphics to provide an adequate level of realism

Blocks out all the external world and present to the wearer a view that is under the complete control of the computer

3. VR v/s AR

Virtual RealityTotally immersive

environment.Completely immersed

in an artificial world and becomes divorced from the real environment

Visual senses are under control of system

Augmented RealitySystem augments

the real world sceneUser maintains a

sense of presence in real world

Needs a mechanism to combine virtual and real worlds

3.1 Reality-Virtuality Continuum

7

Milgram’s Reality-Virtuality Continuum

The real world and a totally virtual environment are at the two ends of this continuum with the middle region called Mixed Reality. Augmented Virtuality -> systems which are mostly synthetic with some real world imagery

4. Need for ARFor some applications, it may be desirable to

use as much as possible real world in the scene rather creating a new scene using computer imagery. Eg. Medicine and telerobotics

Can maintain the high-level of detail and realism that one finds in the real world.

AR enhances real world, while VR replaces or simulates the real world

5. DesignThe four components of any AR system are

5.1 The Display System (usually an HMD)5.2 The Tracking System5.3 Mobile Computing Power5.4 Input device (usually a wrist mounted keyboard)

5.1 The Display SystemAllows the user to see the image and text

created by the Augmented Reality SystemsThere are basically two types of display systems:

5.1.1 Optical see-through5.1.2 Video see-through

5.1.1 Optical see-through displays• Direct viewing of real world through naked eye• Uses optical combiners- partially reflective,

partially transmissive• Similar to HUDs used in military aircrafts

5.1.2 Video see-through displayCombination of closed-view HMD and one or

more head-mounted video camerasVideo from camera combined with graphic

images created by the scene generator

Advantages of Optical see-through displaySimplicity- cheap and simple (one video stream).Resolution- user’s real world view is not retardedSafetyNo eye offset

13

Advantages of Video see-through display Flexibility in composition strategies Wide field of view Real and virtual view delays can be matched Additional registration strategies Easier to match brightness of real and virtual objects

5.2 The Tracking SystemUsed to find the position and orientation of the viewerWhere the user is located with respect to his

surroundingsMovement of user’s head

The two main functions of tracking system:Find the person’s position in space

Using the three Cartesian coordinates- x, y and zFind the direction in which the person is looking

Using three angles- pitch(or elevation), roll and yaw(azimuth)

14

These are called six degrees of freedom (DOF)

•Positive pitch- upward head tilt•Positive roll- left head tilt•Positive yaw- left head rotation

2 conventional tracking devices used: Hi-ball Tracking System(for indoor applications) GPS (for outdoor applications)

6.3 Tracking IssuesSample rate- rate at which sensors are checked for dataUpdate rate- The rate at which the system reports new

position coordinates to the host computerLatency(or lag)- delay between the movement of the

remotely sensed object and the report of the new position

6.4 Portability Issue The user moves around Ergonomics (when mounted and used for a long duration) The power consumption should also be at minimum since the system is to run on batteries to facilitate portability

9. ConclusionAR systems are far behind VR systems in terms of maturity. Augmented Reality is a relatively new field, where most of the research efforts have occurred in the past few years. Because of the numerous challenges and unexplored avenues in this area, AR will remain a vibrant area of research for at least the next several years.

After the basic problems with AR are solved, the ultimate goal will be to generate virtual objects that are so realistic that they are virtually indistinguishable from the real environment.
