Jurjen Caarls on augmented reality in action.
Augmented reality is one of the latest innovations in the electronics industry. It is an improved technology of the usual virtual reality application by superimposing graphics, audio and other sense enhancements from computer screens onto real time environments. It is a blend of computer-generated enhancements in the real world which allows for users to move around rather than just sit and watch what's on the 'screen'.
The result is a 'visual walkman', a doctoral dissertation subject by Jurjen Caarls. He developed a prototype that allows one to "walk" inside an augmented reality environment. He made use of sensors with accurate, real-time measurements of position and orientation. Caarls developed specific image processing techniques, and methods for mixing and filtering the information from various sensors in collaboration with the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague.
One of the basic components of an augmented reality system is the head-mounted display of two small screens and two semi-transparent mirrors to achieve the effect of actual walking in the augmented world in real time. The equipment built into the augmented reality helmet includes a camera, angular velocity sensors, and accelerometers.The other components include a tracking system and mobile computer for the hardware.
