AUGMENTED REALITY
Introduction
Augmented Reality has been one of the most highly evaluated technology in today’s
society. Augmented Reality interlinks virtual as well as the real world protocols in order to
increase the level of immersion in the commencement of the project. Implementation of
Augmented Reality has been increasing in a very rapid rate. Surgery and inspection of hazardous
environment has been using Augmented Reality with high intensity. Reason of requirement of
Augmented Reality is also stated in this report. Weaknesses and strengths are also stated in this
report. Applications of Augmented Reality will also be stated.
Description
Functional process
Functional process of Augmented Reality are as follows: -
1. SLAM: SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) is considered to be one of the
most efficient technique to implement augmented reality in a device. With the help of the
Simultaneous Localization and Mapping helps in interlinking of the real world with
virtual world. Simultaneous Localization and Mapping has localized sensors that helps in
better correlate with their surrounding with respect to the prosecution system that is
present in the augmented reality implementation (Amin and Govilkar 2015).
Simultaneous Localization and Mapping is generally used for resolving complex issues
related to augmented reality. Simultaneous Localization and Mapping is not an algorithm
or software but is a problem resolving technique. Augmented reality kits have started
providing Simultaneous Localization and Mapping based development kits along with the
device itself for better functioning of the system.

2. Recognition based: Recognition based augmented reality imbibes the aspect that the
management of the augmented reality is done on the basis of camera system that is
present in the projection of the device. Recognition based augmented reality helps in
understanding the QR code. With the help of understanding the QR code the natural face
tracking gets easier. Natural augmented reality is completely dependent on the camera of
the devices (Westerfield, Mitrovic and Billinghurst 2015). 3D version can be performed
with the help of the angles that will form better understanding of the better camera
detected images.
3. Location based: In contrast to the recognition based tracking in case of location based
tracking the entire system is performed with the help of GPS tracking. This ensures the
fact that the management of the project gets commenced with the help of the digital
compass, velocity meter and accelerometer that provides better understanding of the
location of the device and functions in accord to that (Liao and Humphreys 2015). With
the inclusion of location detection technique present in smart phones indulge the fact that
the detection aspect of augmented reality gets managed in a better manner.
Reason of requirement
Reasons of requiring Augmented Reality are as follows: -
 Individualized learning: With the help of the augmented reality the main advantage that is
present is direct and personalize interaction with the clients. Augmented reality increases
the socialization of each and every stakeholders of the business organizations. In case the
personalized interaction is performed bonding in between the internal and external
stakeholders of the business organization that implements augmented reality
