Augmented Reality, a young
computer discipline that deals
with the superimpression of
digital content to the observed
real world, has the appropriate
requirements to guarantee a
good threshold of interactivity
to applications dedicated to
the design and use of spaces in
general, whether they are designed
or virtually rebuilt, completely
distorting the usual
and limited paradigm, now
consolidated, of the classic
desktop configuration, mouse,
keyboard.
Augmented Reality is a computer
discipline that studies
projective systems able to
increase reality with digital
content, it could be defined as
the ability to superimpose on
reality observed by the subject
a set of information related to
the context.
In summary, the perception
of an Augmented Reality user
is implemented, “Augmented”
by the presence of digital
objects in its field of view,
enriching the observed view
with additional information
of any complex contents of
3D graphics (three-dimensionalobjects-
3D animations)or
more elementary(two-dimensional
type: video - infographic
data).
It should be pointed out
that, in more advanced applications,
not of Augmented
reality, but of Mixed Reality,
with the integration into the
system of appropriate sensors,
sensory overrun can be extended
not only to the view to
the simulated touch, or the
user active in the experience,
can not only visually inspect
the three-dimensional digital
object placed in real-time mode
in the desired Real Space,
but also move it as he pleases,
raising the level of potential
interactivity.
Immersive technologies such
as Virtual Reality and interactive
such as Augmented reality,
have found happy application
in multiple and heterogeneous
contexts of use, both at the
entreprise level and in the
various professional application
areas(training on the job,
maintenance context, site ,management,
communicationinteractive
presentation of
projects on a planimetric basis
at the desired scale or on-site
at the real scale, enhancement
of archeological heritage
The display of these “three-dimensional
digital holograms”
can take place via tablet/
smartphone or wearable device
(technological headsets).
