Augmented Reality for Business

Augmented reality(AR) is a technology that allows the user to experience the physical world, with computer-generated digital information. Like virtual reality, AR adds layers of virtual input. But unlike VR, AR only adds some virtual information without creating an artificial environment to replace one. Also, it creates some input ranging from sound to video, graphics to GPS overlays, and more in digital content which response in real-time. Hence, it involves technologies like S.L.A.M (simultaneous localization and mapping) and depth tracking.

4 Types Of Augmented Reality Are

1. Marker-less AR
2. Marker-based AR
3. Projection-based AR
4. Superimposition-based AR

History

This science-fiction idea was rooted in 1901, although the term was first introduced in 1990 by Thomas Caudell. But Louis Rosenberg’s complex Virtual Fixture comes with a major update of AR in 1992. The ARQuakegame (2000) and the design tool ARToolkit(2009) was the most notable release of AR in the consumer world. But later, Microsoft’s HoloLens in 2015 brought AR belonging to the classical sense, while AR software became popular and affordable.
