Live View

Live View refers to the realistic camera perspective presented as if the user was looking through a window

All Augmented Reality information is pasted on this window and become part of the sensory experience


Danny Hutton

Geotagging

Geotagging is the process of applying text labels onto a Live View thereby annotating the real world as seen through the viewing device.


Danny Hutton

Geolocation

Geolocation is the process of retrieving positional data and incorporating it into the AR data experience.

In some cases, A GPS mechanism can be used

Often used with Geotagging, it provides a system for labeling the surrounding area


Danny Hutton

Markers

Some AR applications require a marker for real world orientation; not all do

Often AR triggers are located in QR codes These AR triggers may provide an in road to

AR blended information, video, or other content.


Danny Hutton

How is today's Technology Different

Reactive - green screens were passive and independent of user interaction

Multifunctional - whereas an NLF First Down marker may be a single entity, today's media will allow users to interact with GPS, Maps, web pages, and a variety of other modalities of information


Danny Hutton

In the Past...

AR ideas have been around for a long time Past technology was not up to the challenge

of integrating virtual and real information Implementations of AR technology was often

done at the professional level in area such as the military or mainline media


Danny Hutton

How Current Technology is Different

Today's platform include cameras, GPS systems, and motion sensors that can make the AR environment interactive

What once was a lack in processing speed is now possible. Processing body positioning, handling advanced character recognition, interpreting facial or body movements and orientation is now feasible.


Danny Hutton

How Current Technology is Different

Combines real world and virtual Uses real world input to

generate virtual environments


Danny Hutton

Ipad2 Technology

Gesture interaction via front cam Real world overlay using rear cam Internal GPS for GeoTracking Internal Gyroscope for position or movement Very desirable platform for AR uses


Danny Hutton

AR Comes to the Consumer

Will be a lot of hype Some apps useful Some apps will be poor or unnecessary Some apps will just be silly


Danny Hutton

Applications

Simple applications may be a simple as video/data overlays

More complicated applications will better blend both worlds


Danny Hutton

Educational Benefits

Augmented reality provides a real world frame of reference (our images)

Individualized - appeals to the unique user Interactivity engages Creativity opportunity abounds
