A virtual environment co-exists with the real environment to provide additional data about the real world and be more informative and more real in Augmented Reality. The apps of AR offers immediate troubleshooting information for a failing equipment. A complete new environmental simulation replaces the real world of the user in virtual reality which is larger than life experience. For example, VR could let a user box with a cartoon version of the individual engaging in VR Science labs.
Each concept is very unique and is designed to give a simulated environment to the user.
- Virtual and augmented reality - Division - Starting soon
- Augmented reality (AR) augments your surroundings by adding digital elements to a live view, often by using the camera on a smartphone.
- Virtual reality (VR) is a completely immersive experience that replaces a real-life environment with a simulated one.
Augmented Reality is being extensively used in business due to its ability to generate informational overlays that add useful, real-world scenarios in addition to the entertainment scenarios.
Augmented Reality is being used in Design and Construction to see and construct how hypothetical products would look like in the real world.AR helps the people to work on equipment without referring to the manuals or instructions. It is also used in Education, training to provide a complete experience while visualising new products and techniques. Healthcare of today has the simulation of the critical steps of an operation, patients' vital statistics, and more. The customers are given a revamped, modernized augmented reality experience when shopping. It is used extensively in the field of technology to improve the responses during power outages, and gain full visibility into the entirety of their data and in marketing to use it in bill-boards, point of sale materials and packaging.
The components of an augmented reality system include Processor, Display (Mobile handheld device, wearable device, Automative HUD’s, Smart Contact lenses), Camera, GPS Sensors, Input devices. Several types of software algorithms which are needed are Image Registration, 3D Rendering, Content management, Interface, Development toolkits to be used by Tekunora.
However a few challenges may remain in the field of limited mobile processing capability, limited mobile bandwidth ,complex developments, Security issues, building a business model and hardware’s inconvenience. Tekunora will address all these above fields in the area of research.
Interactive Learning and Visualization in Education
VR/AR labs could equip the educational institutions to give their students an immersive learning experience with gamification and interactive modules.
Augmented labs can make subjects interesting and engaging for students to learn even the toughest topics at ease. The advanced mode of interactive education could be leveraged for practical training and to enhance creative thinking.
AR VR labs are an interesting option to enhance education with an interactive learning experience and better understanding. Interacting with the 3D models of hazardous chemicals in an augmented reality chemistry lab ensures the safety of students and needs no attendant to administer the virtual lab.
Advanced Healthcare and Learning Tool
With advanced VR/ AR technology could be used to make medical education, nurse training, imaging, and rehabilitation more effective and efficient. AR, VR, and MR in the healthcare sector can immensely turn around the way of data visualization, advanced diagnostics, and body mapping.
It also improves the quality of patient experience and psychological relief while treatment with reality tech integrations. Virtual reality and augmented reality powers surgery run-throughs and assistance respectively, and also makes medical education and emergency navigation easy and interactive.
VR / AR labs help medical trainees practice surgical procedures on an artificial subject in the virtual environment, along with real-time instructions to help them proceed step-by-step. It guides the trainee to perform the procedure perfectly, and even a faulty step would not cost a life.
