Introduction to Augmented Reality (AR)


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
  •      Processing
  •      Reflection

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.

Anatomy of embedded Linux system

Linus Torvalds released 1st version of Linux kernel in 1991.  Much lower used as desktops and mainly used for embedded applications. In embedded systems, Linux has been ported to many architectures including ARM. It’s an open software, and some pros of open source software - reduces software costs, full control of source code, wide usage of components can improve quality, easy to evaluate new software. In the anatomy of embedded Linux system, these 4 items are very important - Tool chain, Boot loader, Kernel and File system. This is the basic diagram- we have 2 main components Host and Target.  Tool chain indicates the tools and software required for developing software on the target platform. Example compiler, Binutils, C library, debugger, kernel headers etc.  If we have to debug kernel headers, serial debugger can be used. If CPU wants to be debugged,  JTAG debugging tool must be used.  Please refer below image.  Binutils is a coll...

Introduction to Modelling and Simulation

What is about Today?    Modeling & simulation is use of the physical, mathematical or logical representation of a system , entity or process and these models  reduces the development time and cost of the system and it optimizes the design.  Simulation is the imitation of the real-world process or system. To simulate something, it requires a model to be developed, and these model represents the key characteristics, behaviors and functions of the selected system or process.Modelling an act of building a model and Simulation is act of using a model. Simulation software is based on the process of modeling a real phenomenon with a set of mathematical formulas.  Advantages: Allows to understand how the system operates in real-time system in virtual environment. Easy to make changes in to the system and their effect on the output. Can determine the system requirements by applying different configurations. Performing bottleneck analysi...

Introduction to latest technologies such as IoT, IoE, IIoT,WoT

Hi Everyone, Now-a-days, we are hearing terms such as IoT, IoE, IIoT, WoT. In this article i am trying to explain what exactly these terms means.  Let me start with fancy word called IoT (Internet Of Things). Its a world of things (such as vehicles, home appliances, any physical device) connected.  These devices embedded with firmware, software, electronics, sensors, actuators and connectivity which makes any physical device intelligent, so that they can talk with each other. Do you want to know why? I will be explaining more details in my next article. IIoT is Industrial IoT, i.e using IoT in manufacturing industries. This brings brilliant machines together, advanced analytics and many more. It has great potential to change the way how the Industry works and it enables M2M machine-to-machine communication. Next article i will tell some real time applications of this. IoE is Internet of Everything where people, process, data and things(these are ...
