Introduction to Augmented Reality.

What is Augmented Reality.

Augmented Reality is a technology that superimpose Computer generated image on the users view of the real world thus providing a composite view.For example Pokemon Go Game.

Adding Object in the Real world Image.Different types of Augmented Reality.

[a]. Marker based Augmented Reality.

[b].Marker less Augmented Reality.

[c].Projection based Augmented Reality.

[d].Superimposition based Augmented Reality.

What is Virtual Reality.

Virtual reality is fully computer based simulated technology generated with the help of realistic image, sound and other sensation which give the user a feeling of being a different environment instead of actual environment.

Main Sensors in VR Headset are magnetometer, accelerometer, gyroscope Sensors. These senors help us to measure motion and direction.

[1] Magnetometer Sensors measure magnetic field.

[2] Accelerometer Sensors measure changes in X,Y,Z axis of phone.

[3] Gyroscope Sensors is an advance form of Accelerometer which measure very small change in Smart phone.

[4] Camera
