Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) are taking over our era, with new innovations using the technology being released everyday. Both have had a sizable play in companies performances, and have shaped and developed society from the beginning of their release. AR and VR technology take aspects of the real-world and apply it to technology in a three dimensional form, just in different ways. Despite common misconceptions, these two ideas are not the same. VR is all screen-generated work, only including technological elements in its world that may resemble real-life items. AR, on the other hand, applies these elements to real-life items, portraying an image onto an object you physically have in front of you.
AR has had a specific impact on our society in general. From the Google Glass to the Hololens, it’s no surprise that companies like Google (GOOGL) and Microsoft (MSFT) are doing so well. But what if we can use this technology for more? What if this technology could teach? What if it could save lives? This is exactly what Volkswagen (VOW.DE on XETRA) has decided to explore.
Volkswagen is an car manufacturer that sells mainly in Europe, North America, South America, and the Asia-Pacific. It is composed of four sectors: Passenger Cars, Commercial Vehicles, Power Engineering, and Financial Services, of which help them manufacture, develop, and sell their products. The company’s productions are sold on many platforms including Volkswagen Passenger Cars, Audi, KODA,
Our goal is to make 3D worlds more realistic and immersive with the 3D MA platform. The 3D MA platform is designed to be compatible with VR equipment, such as the CAVE™ or head-mounted displays (HMD), turning virtual worlds into powerful real-life experiences. Our applications and domains described will be based with the augmentation which can take on a number of different forms. In all our applications the augmented reality presented to the user will enhances that person's performance in and perception of the virtual world. Our ultimate goal is to create a system such that the user cannot tell the difference between the real world and the virtual augmentation of it.
When it comes to augmented reality, we're looking at something that has found more success in the consumer space when compared to virtual reality. We've seen several applications with AR, along with video game and hardware devices such
The large majority of the US population (66%) don’t really know what augmented reality. Of those who know about it, less than 5% feel they are an expert on the subject.
authors showed that virtual reality (VR) is one of the best new technologies that can be applied
Virtual-reality also poses a significant threat/opportunity towards us within the creative industry, especially us who use audio and video. The eyes and ears translate what I create. Films are good at immersing people into created universes and stories. However, VR, Interaction, and sensory feelings like touch and smell may be included in the standard formula for immersive entertainment.
It is written by famous scholars and is published by a respected, well-known publishing house. In addition to that, the content of this article covers a part of the thesis I will raise in my final one. However, there are also some deficiencies in the source. First, the author of this article is not a focused expert in the field of virtual reality though he did a lot for the technology. Second, the source only talks about the help that VR technology did in the process of experiment. It didn’t cover wild enough to meet my need. Moreover, the publication date is a little long before now. That means it may miss the swift changes of the technology during these years. Since it is significant to catch up with the progress of modern technologies, the value of this source is still to be
ScopeAR focuses on the industrial machinery, utilities, manufacturing, and telecom industries, and works across smartphones, tablets, desktops, and AR glasses (monocular and mixed reality). ScopeAR positions itself as an inexpensive and scalable way to start working with AR solutions in order to train new employees on complex tasks and/or better support field technicians. They claim that by leveraging 3D CAD models, text, images, and video, it is possible to more efficiently and effectively train employees than with traditional paper based methods. In the case that a workflow is not

To discuss Lanier’s keen views and anticipations regarding Virtual Reality back in the mid 1980s, it would be useful to first cover exactly how far Virtual Reality has progressed up until today. This essay will begin by discussing the history of Virtual Reality and the usage trends. That discussion will then be used to preface a discussion about Lanier’s views that were expressed in A Vintage Virtual Reality Interview. The essay will then finish off by looking at particularly interesting views held by some of today’s futurists and these views will be related back to Lanier’s original exuberant view of Virtual
Before we can understand the overview of the AR industry, let us first understand what AR or Augmented Reality is all
VR systems support 3-dimensional graphics, wide angle of view, stereovision, and viewer-centered perspective. In many VR systems the participant is not seated and is free to walk about and gesture broadly. These features make a computer system which is closer to a workshop, an operating room, or a national park than it is to a desk in an office. This perspective allows freedom in the creation of human-computer interfaces that is not afforded by the current standard interfaces [4].
This presentation has been prepared in order to analyze level of particular company in this case – Volkswagen. The modern Volkswagen is a German automaker found in 1937, from a single public automotive company, also this company incorporated other brands such as Audi, Bugatti, SEAT, Bentley, Ducati, Lamborghini, Porsche, Scania, MAN, Skoda and Volkswagen. This company produces motorcycles, passenger cars and commercial vehicles. (Pratt, B. 2017).
He is also responsible in popularizing the phrase “Virtual Reality”. Just a year later, the phrase “Augmented Reality” (AR) was phrased out by Tom Caudell while he was at Boeing, helping workers assemble cables into aircrafts.
Volkswagen has set a bold goal of dethroning Toyota as the world’s largest auto maker. This goal includes significantly increasing the North American market share, as Volkswagen currently holds only 2.2 percent of the United States market. Volkswagen’s strategy includes cutting prices and tailoring its cars to better fit the American lifestyle and tastes. This includes increasing the size of its vehicles and modifying certain amenities, such as increasing the cup holder size to fit the larger sized beverages which Americans are known to drink. In order to become the world’s largest auto maker by 2018, Volkswagen’s management team has set a lofty goal of selling 800,000 vehicles per year
