INTRODUCTION

1.1 Virtual reality(VR):

Virtual reality is a term that applies to computer-simulatedenvironments that can

simulate physical presence in places in the real world, as well as in imaginary worlds.

It covers remote communication environments which provide virtual presence of

users with the concepts of telepresenceandtelexistenceor a virtual artifact(VA). he

simulated environment can !e similar to the real world in order to create alife li"e

experience.

Virtual reality is often used to descri!e a wide variety of applications commonly

associated with immersive, highly visual, #$ environments. he development of %A$

software, graphics hardware acceleration, head mounted displays, data!ase gloves, and

miniaturi&ation.

1.2 Augmented reality(AR):

Augmented reality is a live, direct or indirect, view of a physical, real-world environment

whose elements are augmented !y generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or '

data. It is related to a more general concept called mediated reality, in which a view of reality is

modified (possi!ly even diminished rather than augmented), !y a computer.

As a result, the technology functions !y enhancing one*s current perception of reality. +y

contrast, virtual reality replaces the real world with a simulated one. Augmentation is

conventionally in real-time and in semantic context with environmental elements.

OVERVIE'

As per many reports, 'oogle is expected to start selling eyeglasses that will proect

information, entertainment and, this !eing a 'oogle product, advertisements onto the lenses.

hese glasses will have the com!ined features of virtual reality and augmented reality.

he 'oogle 'lasses can use a 6' cell connection to pull in information from 'oogle*s

mountain of data and display info a!out the real world in augmented reality on the lens in front of

your eye. As you turn your head you*ll get information a!out your surroundings and near!y

o!ects from 'oogle 'oggles, info on !uildings and esta!lishments from 'oogle aps, even

your friends* near!y chec"-ins from 0atitude. he company has no plans to sell ads into your

newly augmented view of the world, !ut will consider it if the product really catches on.

he glasses are not !eing designed to !e worn constantly 7 although 'oogle engineers

expect some users will wear them a lot 7 !ut will !e more li"e smart phones, used when needed,

with the lenses serving as a "ind of see-through computer monitor.

'oogle glasses are !asically weara!le computers that will use the same Android software

that powers Android smart phones and ta!lets. 0i"e smart phones and ta!lets, the glasses will !e

e8uipped with ' and motion sensors. hey will also contain a camera and audio inputs and

outputs.

everal people who have seen the glasses, !ut who are not allowed to spea" pu!licly

a!out them, said that the location information was a maor feature of the glasses. hrough the

!uilt-in camera on the glasses, 'oogle will !e a!le to stream images to its rac" computers and

return augmented reality information to the person wearing them. 9or instance, a person loo"ing

at a landmar" could see detailed historical information and comments a!out it left !y friends. If

facial recognition software !ecomes accurate enough, the glasses could remind a wearer of when

and how he met the vaguely familiar person standing in front of him at a party. hey might also

!e used for virtual reality games that use the real world as the playground.

eara!le computers, also "nown as !ody-!orne computers are miniature electronic

devices that are worn !y the !earer under, with or on top of clothing. his class of weara!le

technology has !een developed for general or special purpose information technologies and

media development. eara!le computers are especially useful for applications that re8uire more

complex computational support than ust hardware coded logics.

igure .1 'earale #!m/uting

;ne of the main features of a weara!le computer is consistency. here is a

constant interaction !etween the computer and user, i.e. there is no need to turn the device on or

off. Another feature is the a!ility to multi-tas". It is not necessary to stop what you are doing to

use the device< it is augmented into all other actions. hese devices can !e incorporated !y the

user to act li"e a prosthetic. It can therefore !e an extension of the user*s mind and=or !ody.

Am!ient Intelligence (AmI) refers to electronic environments that are sensitive and

responsive to the presence of people. Am!ient intelligence is a vision on the future of consumer

electronics, telecommunications and computing.

In an am!ient intelligence world, devices wor" in concert to support people in carrying

out their everyday life activities, tas"s and rituals in easy, natural way using information and

intelligence that is hidden in the networ" connecting these devices.

As these devices grow smaller, more connected and more integrated into our

environment, the technology disappears into our surroundings until only the user interface

remains perceiva!le !y users.

mart clothing is the next generation of apparel. It is a com!ination of new fa!ric

technology and digital technology, which means that the clothing is made with new signal-

transfer fa!ric technology installed with digital devices. ince this smart clothing is still under

development, many pro!lems have occurred due to the a!sence of the standardi&ation of

technology. herefore, the efficiency of technology development can !e strengthened through

industrial standardi&ation. his study consists of three phases. he first phase is selecting

standardi&ation factors to propose a standardi&ation road map. he second phase is to research

and collect related test evaluation methods of smart clothing. 9or this, we selected two categories,

which are clothing and electricity=electron properties. he third phase is esta!lishing a

standardi&ation road map for smart clothing. In this study, test evaluations have not yet !een

conducted and proved. owever, this study shows how to approach standardi&ation. e expect

that it will !e valua!le for developing smart clothing technology and standardi&ation in the future.

An 4ye ap is a device that is worn in front of the eye that acts as a camera to record thescene availa!le to the eye as well as a display to superimpose a computer-generated imagery on

the original scene availa!le to the eye. his structure allows the user3s eye to operate as !oth a

monitor and a camera as the 4ye ap inta"es the world around it and augments the image the user

sees allowing it to overlay computer-generated data over top of the normal world the user would

perceive. he 4ye ap is a hard technology to categori&e under the three main headers for

A smart grid is an electrical grid that uses information and communications technology to

consumers, in an automated fashion to improve the efficiency, relia!ility, economics, and

sustaina!ility of the production and distri!ution of electricity.

successor of the third generation (#') standards. A 6' system provides mo!ile ultra-

and to other mo!ile devices.

Android is a 0inux-!ased operating system for mo!ile devices such as smart

phones and ta!let computers, developed !y 'oogle in conunction with the ;pen andset

Alliance.Android is open source and 'oogle releases the code under the Apache 0icense. hisopen source code and permissive licensing allows the software to !e freely modified and

distri!uted !y device manufacturers, wireless carriers and enthusiast developers. Additionally,

Android has a large community of developers writing applications (5apps5) that extend the

functionality of devices, written primarily in a customi&ed version of the Cava programming

language. In ;cto!er 2D12, there were approximately @DD,DDD apps availa!le for Android, and the

estimated num!er of applications downloaded from 'oogle lay, Android3s primary app store,

was 2> !illion.
