The next advent of Reality

To imagine a world similar to a movie like  “Harry Potter” around you might sound a lot weird but we have a question “why not?” and yes we have a technology that can answer it. An experimental technology that has been in labs for years and required high levels of expertise and knowledge to create new application. This has finally made its way through the hands of people like Pranav Mistry. Well it is not the so called “sixth sense” technology but it is one of the technologies that served the purpose of the sixth sense technology. Imagine reading a story book and you are able to see the characters enact their roles. If this was possible then the learning process which includes listening to long lectures and reading textbooks would rather become giving a glance at your book and it realistically showing whatever you need to know. This has been made possible by the augmented technology where the real world and the virtual environment are combined together. AUGMENTED REALITY in other ways is a toy for advertising.

            The only difference between the virtual reality and augmented reality is that in virtual reality there is a virtual environment and we become a part of the virtual environment but in augmented reality there is a virtual character and the virtual character is made a part of the real world.

           

            The augmented Reality is a visualization technology that allows the user to experience the virtual experience added over real world in real time. With the help of advanced AR technology the information about the surrounding real world of the user becomes interactive and digitally usable. Artificial information about the environment and the objects in it can be stored and retrieved as an information layer on top of the real world view. When we compare the spectrum between virtual reality, which creates immersive, computer-generated environments, and the real world, augmented reality is closer to the real world. Augmented reality adds graphics, sounds, haptic feedback and smell to the natural world as it exists. Both video games and cell phones are driving the development of augmented reality. The augmented systems will also superimpose graphics for every perspective available and try adjust to every movement of the user’s head and eyes. The three basic components of an augmented reality system are the head-mounted display, tracking system and mobile computer for the hardware. The main goal of this new technology is to merge these three components into a highly portable unit much like a combination of a high tech Walkman and an ordinary pair or eyeglasses. The head-mounted display used in augmented reality systems will enable the user to view superimposed graphics and text created by the system.

Cell phones have more effect on the world than computers

Once arose a statement when computers started dominating “ Everything at your doorsteps”, now its time to say “Everything in your palms” or even better would be “Everything by a touch”. The world has shrunken into the so called cellular phones which has yet been modified to be called the SMART PHONES.

            

           Gone are the days when you had to run back home to switch on the T.V to watch your favorite television show now its time to use the internet , you had to ask the way to a new city you've never been before now just switch on the Google map , you forgot your watch no problem your phone shows it , you all of a sudden see a celebrity on road but you don't have your camera its easy your phone's camera has got a thousand options for a better picture . Now these so called SMART PHONES are killing watches, cameras , changing the T.V industry , destroying the payphone .

                  

          It was once a better choice to buy a laptop rather than a desktop and now why go for a giant laptop it has been shrunk further to a TAB or a SMART PHONE. Laptops were advertised once as carry them in your hands where ever u want , now its the time to advertise these smart phones or tabs as have the world in your pockets.

                      

          There might be a near future where smart phones would be also used to check the heartbeat, blood pressure or in a broader sense instead of money payment people would start transferring them just like that through their phones.
