Agenda

• Introduction

• Requirements

• Available Hardware

• Fields of application

• Conclusion

Virtual and Augmented Reality


Conceptual Definition

Virtual Reality (VR)

• Computer generated simulationof a real environment

• Immersive and interactive

• Generally fixed location

• Hardware: CAVE, HMD, 3D projection/TVs

• Established market

Augmented Reality (AR)

• Extension of the perceived real environment by virtual overlayswith context dependentinformation

• Partial immersion

• Generally mobile location

• Hardware: glasses, headsets, tablets, smartphones

• Emerging market

Virtual vs. Augmented Reality


Example
