Have you ever heard of Augmented Reality? If not, Augmented Reality is a computer based software that uses 3-D tracking. To simplfy that even more, by using a sheet of paper with a desired icon, the camera can spot the icon, and replace it with a 3-D computer made icon. Some people even animate the icon, so that when you move the paper to it’s side, the icon will respond with some sort of action.
You may still be confused about what Augmented Reality is, so I will continue to explain what it is through out this article. Currently, there is a museum that uses Augmented Reality to show everything. Augmented Reality is currently being geared towards kids, so throughout the tour, kids can put on the special glasses and see the books come to life. How? Just like the computer, the glasses spot the icon, and then replay what is in it’s memory. Say for instance a child is reading a fairy tale, once they turn the page, that page’s story begins to play out before the child.
If you do a search on the internet and type in ‘Augmented Reality’ you can find many downloads where you can try it out. Many car dealerships have started using Augmented Reality as a marketing tool. They definetly got me hooked. If you are into 3-D modeling and animation, you can download the free trial of Augmented Reality to test it out.
Over all, Augmented Reality will be part of your future. This is not something you will want to miss out on. Check it out today!
