Virtual Reality (VR) : In new year incinerate of virtual reality will be expanded. By the way, VR devices are still available, but it only support Google card board of mobile. So next year if you get to see as much sophisticated handsets of Oculus rift & Sony's PlayStation's VR, then there is no need to be surprised.
Augmented Reality (AR) : This technique can also be seen in the new year. Google and Microsoft plans to launch it in the new year. The AR Magic Leap and Hololens name will be in the market and more or less it will make you feel same as realistic Live Translation App World.
Augmented reality (AR) is a live, direct or indirect, view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data. It is related to a more general concept called mediated reality, in which a view of reality is modified (possibly even diminished rather than augmented) by a computer. As a result, the technology functions by enhancing one’s current perception of reality. By contrast, virtual reality replaces the real world with a simulated one. Augmentation is conventionally in real-time and in semantic context with environmental elements, such as sports scores on TV during a match. 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 manipulable. Artificial information about the environment and its objects can be overlaid on the real world. see also:
Augmented Reality gathers a wide variety of user experiences. We distinguish 3 main categories of Augmented Reality tools.
Augmented Reality 3D viewers, like Augment, allow to place life-size 3D models in your environment with or without the use of trackers.
Augmented Reality browsers enrich your camera feed with contextual information. For example, you can point your smartphone at a building to display its history or estimated value.
Augmented Reality games create immersive gaming experiences, like shooting games with zombies walking in your own bedroom!
Augmented Reality devices
Augmented Reality can be used on all screens and connected devices :
On smartphones and tablets, Augmented Reality feels like a magic window. Hundreds of Augmented Reality apps are available on iPhone, iPad and Android.
On PC and connected TV, Augmented Reality works with a webcam, which can be quite cumbersome when you have to manipulate a tracker in front of your screen.
On connected glasses and lenses, Augmented Reality feels like being Robocop.
