Augmented reality allows us to feel the physical environment in the real world lively, dynamically and in real time with computer-based sensory inputs. It is an exciting concept that allows us to live in the future and that we think will take place in a large part of our lives.
What is Augmented Reality?
Thanks to augmented reality
(AR), computer-generated elements such as audio, video, graphics or GPS data
are augmented and animated by sensory input. It is the direct or indirect live
view of a new perception environment created by combining the physical, real
world environment. It will appeal to human senses with augmented
reality. The inputs that will activate their emotions are changed and enriched
by the computer, and the new reality that emerges is presented to the user's
perception. Enrichment takes place in real time and interacts with surrounding
elements. With Augmented Reality, the user can interact with the information
and other elements that make up the reality environment. Artificial information
and elements about the environment can be compatible with the real world.
To explain in a simpler way, we can talk about video games that we think will use augmented reality intensively. Although there are many opinions about who created the first video game, especially depending on how the word video game is defined, computer games that have been entertaining us for years are actually simulations of our lives, from the most primitive to the most advanced. For example; When we consider a very old car racing game, we say that it is far from realism compared to the current ones, because the number of units that stimulate our senses is very few in the old games. Computer graphics today have become much more sophisticated since then and this allows us to enjoy the games we play even more. Augmented reality gives us more. For example, let's say you bought your car in the game and went on a tour of Istanbul. Time, space and all other units may be the same as Istanbul in the real world. In other words, Istanbul traffic or the sudden rain may cause your vehicle in the game to reach its destination later. Since you never want to crash in an augmented reality car racing game, the feelings of the game are so intense that you can feel everything from the skidding during the accident to the glass pieces falling on you. Augmented reality, which we use in video games as an example, is real-time in order to better explain the event. it interacts with all the units in the environment and as we will talk about, the areas where it is used and can be used are also quite wide.
Augmented
Reality Enriches Our Lives
Augmented reality simply adds
graphics, sound and other sensory enhancements over the real world environment,
in real time. If we take a TV broadcast, “How much more reality can we expect
from TV?” you can ask a similar question. However, a TV broadcast using
augmented reality contains more technology than the most realistic and
technological TV broadcasts you have ever seen. Although the use of augmented
reality is rather new and in its infancy, the RACEf/x and vesuper-imposed first
down line technologies used by Sportvision in English League football matches
have made users feel the reality and the difference in a solid way. However,
these systems show a single point of view point of view. Graphic display of
next generation augmented reality systems will be provided for each viewer's
perspective.
Augmented Reality Enriches Our Lives
Augmented reality is a
tremendous technology that we can use in every phase of our daily life and will
make our lives easier. Today, augmented reality technology has started to be
used in every field from archeology to architecture, from education to art,
from health to military.
Use of Augmented Reality in
Industry
Although these systems are in
their infancy today, in the future companies will use augmented reality more
intensively to improve decision making and business procedures. In the
virtual world, operators will be able to interact with their machines at the
click of a button, change their parameters, and receive operational data and
maintenance instructions.
Industrial design
Augmented reality can help
industrial designers experience the design and operation of their products
before they are completed. Volkswagen uses augmented reality to compare
predicted and actual crash test images. Augmented reality can also be used to
visualize the body structure and engine layout of a car, and to perform
operations on the vehicle.
Packaging and Marketing
With augmented reality, you
can preview what's inside a product without even opening the package. Augmented
reality can also be used as an aid when your customers choose their products
from the catalog. With the use of scanned images of products, you can also
offer your customers customization options such as additional content and
views.
Packaging and Marketing with augmented reality
Spatial Interaction
Collaboration among team
members can be facilitated by augmented reality and conferencing with virtual
participants. Employees who are not in the same environment with each other can
be brainstormed and discussed as if they were in the same environment. Meetings
using shared visualization via touchscreens and charts can include interactive
digital whiteboards, shared design spaces, and distributed control rooms.
Mission Support
Augmented reality can simplify
complex tasks such as assembly and maintenance by putting additional
information into view. For example, a mechanic might view parts of a system to
clarify the owner's manual. The use of augmented reality also provides benefits
for assembly lines. Boeing, BMW and Volkswagen use augmented reality on the
assembly line to improve their manufacturing and assembly processes. Large
machines are also difficult to maintain as there are multiple layers or
structures. As employees with augmented reality will see the location and cause
of the problem more clearly, it will be easier for them to perform maintenance.
Innovative
Products
Although augmented reality is
a new technology, it has been adopted by people very quickly. The products to
be produced using this technology are completely within the limits of human
imagination. This means that engineers and designers who adopt augmented
reality technology will produce unlimited innovative ideas and products using
this technology. Dozens of creative products using augmented reality, from the
health sector to tourism, from the military to the phones in our pocket, have
already been heavily launched.
This new technology, which we
call augmented reality, blurs the line between the computer universe and the
real universe; It enables our senses of seeing, feeling, touching, smelling and
hearing to take action in a new universe created. In the near future, we
will be able to watch live what is happening in our aching stomach with
augmented reality, put on our glasses or helmets and travel with our friends to
any place in the world in real time. In addition, we will be able to play a
strategy game, and most importantly, we will be able to combine our imagination
with this technology and create successful products that will make our lives
easier.
