Tutorial: Introduction to Augmented Reality
Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that involves the overlay of 3D graphics on the real world. Over the past 10 years, the HIT Lab NZ has been involved with AR research and is one of the largest AR research groups in the world. At the HITLabNZ, AR is researched in several fields including entertainment, education and medicine. Recently, AR is becoming particularly popular for mobile phones where the camera, GPS and phone sensors can be used to overlay information on the users surrounding environment.
This tutorial will introduce the field of Augmented Reality and how to build AR applications. Participants will learn about current and past AR applications and directions for future research.
Topics to be covered include:
