This book was released on 2018-05-23 with total page 90 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With Augmented Reality, also termed AR, a view of the real world is augmented by superimposing computer-generated graphics, thereby enriching or enhancing the perception of the reality. Today, lots of applications benefit from AR in different areas, such as education, medicine, navigation, construction, gaming, and multiple other areas, using primarily head-mounted AR displays and AR on hand-held smart devices. Tablets and phones are highly suitable for AR, as they are equipped with high resolution screens, good cameras and powerful processing units, while being readily available to both industry and home use. They are used with video see-through AR, were the live view of the world is captured by a camera in real time and subsequently presented together with the computer graphics on the display. In this thesis I put forth our recent work on improving video see-through Augmented Reality graphics and interaction for hand-held devices by applying and utilizing user perspective. On the rendering side, we introduce a geometry-based user perspective rending method aiming to align the on screen content with the real view of the world visible around the screen. Furthermore, we introduce a device calibration system to compensate for misalignment between system parts. On the interaction side we introduce two wand-like direct 3D pose manipulation techniques based on this user perspective. We also modified a selection technique and introduced a new one suitable to be used with our introduced manipulation techniques. Finally, I present several formal user studies, evaluating the introduced techniques and comparing them with concurrent state-of-the-art alternatives.

Book excerpt: We explored interaction within the context of handheld Augmented Reality (AR), where a handheld device is used as a physical magic lens to 'augment' the physical surrounding. We focused, in particular, on the role of spatial relations between the on-screen content and the physical surrounding. On the one hand, spatial relations define opportunities for mixing environments, such as the adaptation of the digital augmentation to the user's location. On the other hand, spatial relations involve specific constraints for interaction such as the impact of hand tremor on on-screen camera image stability. The question is then, how can we relax spatial constraints while maintaining the feeling of digital-physical collocation. Our contribution is three-fold. First, we propose a design space for handheld AR on-screen content with a particular focus on the spatial relations between the different identified frames of reference. This design space defines a framework for systematically studying interaction with handheld AR applications. Second, we propose and evaluate different handheld AR pointing techniques to improve pointing precision. Indeed, with handheld AR set-up, both touch-screen input and the spatial relations between the on-screen content and the physical surrounding impair the precision of pointing. Third, as part of a collaborative research project involving AIST-Tsukuba and Schneider- France and Japan, we developed a toolkit supporting the development of handheld AR applications. The toolkit has been used to develop several demonstrators.

Download or read book Augmented Reality written by Andrew Yeh Ching Nee and published by BoD – Books on Demand. This book was released on 2011-12-09 with total page 284 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Augmented Reality (AR) is a natural development from virtual reality (VR), which was developed several decades earlier. AR complements VR in many ways. Due to the advantages of the user being able to see both the real and virtual objects simultaneously, AR is far more intuitive, but it's not completely detached from human factors and other restrictions. AR doesn't consume as much time and effort in the applications because it's not required to construct the entire virtual scene and the environment. In this book, several new and emerging application areas of AR are presented and divided into three sections. The first section contains applications in outdoor and mobile AR, such as construction, restoration, security and surveillance. The second section deals with AR in medical, biological, and human bodies. The third and final section contains a number of new and useful applications in daily living and learning.

Book excerpt: Supporting augmented reality (AR) on handheld mobile devices is interesting due to the low costs, low power consumptions, portability, and mobility. Until recently, AR has been accomplished on handheld devices through the aid of distinguishable visual markers in which computer generated virtual objects are displayed over these visual markers, this is referred to as marker AR. A major restriction with marker AR is that the entire visual marker must be visible through a camera of a handheld device at all times. Recent advancements in technology has overcome this limitation, and mobile devices now support marker-less AR on handheld devices in which visual markers are no-longer required. While there are significant work done and results available in addressing virtual object manipulation with marker AR, it is unclear how these findings will apply in marker-less AR applications. With the involved technology on mobile devices being a recent development, there currently is a lack of results addressing virtual object manipulations in marker-less AR settings. The goals of this study are to analyze the distinct differences of virtual object manipulation in marker AR and marker-less AR, understand the implications of these differences, observe the results of these differences in actual user tests, and identify relevant results from marker AR virtual object manipulations to predict and verify the subset that can transition into marker-less AR. This study conducts user testing on five marker AR virtual object manipulation methods. Four methods are the latest results from marker AR research on handheld devices, and a fifth method is a proposed novel method attempting to address the distinctions between the two AR settings. User testing of these methods shows that no single method applies well in all marker-less AR test cases where the requirements of manipulating small scale objects are distinct, and orthogonal from those of interacting with relatively large scale objects. The gathered results suggests that for mark-less AR applications, methods for virtual object manipulations should be adaptive to the relative sizes of the target AR objects.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Augmented Reality (AR) has many advantages that include increased engagement and interaction as well as enhanced innovation and responsiveness. AR technology has applications in almost all domains such as medical training, retail, repair and maintenance of complex equipment, interior design in architecture and construction, business logistics, tourism, and classroom education. Innovating with Augmented Reality: Applications in Education and Industry explains the concepts behind AR, explores some of its application areas, and gives an in-depth look at how this technology aligns with Education 4.0. Due to the rapid advancements in technology, future education systems must prepare students to work with the latest technologies by enabling them to learn virtually in augmented ways in varied platforms. By providing an illusion of physical objects, which takes the students to a new world of imagination, AR and Virtual Reality (VR) create virtual and interactive environments for better learning and understanding. AR applications in education are covered in four chapters of this book, including a chapter on how gamification can be made use of in the teaching and learning process. The book also covers other application areas of AR and VR. One such application area is the food and beverage industry with case studies on virtual 3D food, employee training, product–customer interaction, restaurant entertainment, restaurant tours, and product packaging. The application of AR in the healthcare sector, medical education, and related devices and software are examined in the book’s final chapter. The book also provides an overview of the game development software, Unity, a real-time development platform for 2D and 3D AR and VR, as well as the software tools and techniques used in developing AR-based apps.
