Augmented Reality

Augmented reality (AR) is a term for a live direct or indirect view of a physical real-world environment whose elements are merged with (or augmented by) virtual computer-generated imagery - creating a mixed reality. The augmentation is conventionally in real-time and in semantic context with environmental elements. With the help of advanced AR technology (e.g. adding computer vision and object recognition) the information about the surrounding real world of the user becomes interactive and digitally usable. Artificial information about the environment and the objects in it can be stored and retrieved as an information layer on top of the real world view. 

Augmented reality research explores the application of computer-generated imagery in live-video streams as a way to expand the real-world. Advanced research includes use of head-mounted displays (HDMs) and virtual retinal displays for visualization purposes, and construction of controlled environments containing any number of sensors and actuators.  

Augmented Reality:

• combines real and virtual
• is interactive in real time
• is registered in 3D

Tedopres & Augmented Reality

As a leading innovator in its industry, Tedopres is using augmented reality to further enhance how to communicate technical information to the user.

Benefits

 Augmented Reality will redefine the user experience resulting in many benefits, including:

• improving usability by acting as the interface itself, requiring little interaction from the user. 
• reducing search efforts
• making it much easier for the user to do troubleshooting, maintenance and repair procedures, therefore efficiently transferring technical knowledge to the user.
