AUGMENTED REALITY APPLICATIONS CLASSIFICATION

Mobile Augmented Reality Applications

Augmented reality have undergone considerable improvement in past years. Many special techniques and hardware devices were developed, but the crucial breakthrough came with the spread of intelligent mobile phones. This enabled mass spread of augmented reality applications. However mobile devices have limited hardware capabilities, which narrows down the methods usable for scene analysis. In thi...

Military Applications of Augmented Reality

This chapter reviews military benefits and requirements that have led to a series of research efforts in augmented reality (AR) and related systems over the past few decades, beginning with the DARPA-funded research of Ivan Sutherland that initiated the field of interactive computer graphics. We will briefly highlight a few of the research projects that have advanced the field over the past fiv...

Vision-based Augmented Reality Applications

Augmented Reality (AR) is a technique for overlaying virtual objects onto the real world. AR has recently been applied to many kinds of entertainment applications by using visionbased tracking technique, such as [Klein & Drummond, 2004, Henrysson et al., 2005, Haller et al. 2005, Schmalstieg & Wagner, 2007, Looser et al. 2007]. AR can provide users with immersive feeling by allowing the interac...

Classification Space for Augmented Surgery, an Augmented Reality Case Study

One of the recent design goals in Human Computer Interaction has been to extend the sensorymotor capabilities of computer systems to combine the real and the virtual in order to assist the user in his environment. Such systems are called Augmented Reality (AR). Although AR systems are becoming more prevalent we still do not have a clear understanding of this interaction paradigm. In this paper ...
