The document discusses the differences between virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR), and mixed reality (MR). AR has limitations in that it cannot detect physical spaces and objects in the real world. To achieve true mixed reality, a device would need complex hardware and software to digitally map physical spaces and understand how virtual objects interact with real world walls, furniture etc. The key distinction between AR, VR and MR is that MR experiences allow users to do things not possible on traditional screens by merging real and virtual worlds.
Intro to Augmented Reality
- 1. V R – V i r t u a l Re a l i t y M R – M i x e d Re a l i t y A R – A u g m e n t e d Re a l i t y
- 2. V R M R A R
- 6. V R M R A R
- 7. V R M R – ? A R
- 8. AR devices have a problem: They don’t understand how to merge virtual elements into real, physical spaces. So this happens.
- 9. AR devices can’t detect that there’s a wall here To do that, you’d need incredibly complex hardware and software.
- 10. You’d need a digital point map of the floor, walls, chairs, and table.
- 11. And your device would have to understand that walls, chairs, and tables block your line of sight to that virtual creature. This is mixed reality.
- 12. A R v s M R
- 15. The golden rule of AR, VR, and MR: Any software built for AR/VR/MR should allow the user to do things they could never do with just a flat laptop screen. --Playing solitaire or mahjong inVR breaks the rule. --Skyping in AR or MR breaks the rule.
