Introduction to Augmented Reality (AR)

AR is an enhanced version of reality. It’s an integration of digital information with the User's environment in real time. AR is different from Virtual Reality (VR). Virtual Reality creates an artificial environment and Augmented reality uses the existing environment and overlays new information on top of it. Its where live direct or indirect views of physical real-world environments are augmented with superimposed computer-generated images over a user's view of the real-world, thus enhancing one's current perception of reality. It’s how you work, play and connect with the world.
AR is rapidly growing technology, because it brings the objects to reality.
Key Components to Augmented Reality Devices
  •      Sensors and Cameras
  •      Projection

Many of the top augmented reality companies are seeing great success by helping seasoned industries adopt and apply this new technology for their unique business needs. A strong example of augmented reality in use is in the field of healthcare. From a routine checkup, to a complex surgical procedure, augmented reality can provide immense benefits and efficiencies to both patient and healthcare professional.
In manufacturing industries, we can use AR technology for service tool applications, to describe the product usage, datasheets, limitations, Installation etc. This reduces the complexity for the Customer to use the product. Whenever he has some issue with product, service technician can fix it with the use of this tool. It reduces the time also. Thanks for reading this article.
