What is a widespread reality?
Augmented reality (AR) concerns computer research, which aims to produce information systems that combine information about the real world with digital information without any problems. The widespread reality is still in its infancy, but many futurists and scientists expect to experience a Renaissance sometime in 2010 or 20th century.
The central objective of the enlarged reality system would be something like glasses or a retina projector that provides the user heads-up displaying relevant information, mapped to the surrounding environment in real time. For example, when browsing a restaurant with glasses with extended reality, you could immediately call up a list of reviews or an offer from the restaurant website. A scientist working on medicines could use glasses to display 3D models of different molecules and use them to visualize a better drug. Children could use the nets of the connected AR glasses to play video games in real life that allow them to shoot from the hands of "lasers". The needs of the systems are rather unlimited.
AugmentovAná reality depends on progress in miniaturization and wearable computer. We are currently missing both an effective projection system and fast computers small enough to actually create a trading AR interface, even though we are close. The prototypes have been discarded for what looks like a decade, but the viable product of the mainstream does not yet exist. One of the promising technologies is retina-lake projection with low power that projects images directly on the retina and completely bypasses the need for glasses. There are commercial projection systems of the retina, but their resolution and color palette are very bad.
Augmented reality currently exists in a basic form. For example, sports commentators can often use a light pen to "draw" on a football field and provide visual assistance that accompanies their commentary. Another example is the first down line on a football field, drawn by a computer inReal time and constantly updated. However, it is not a reality because they only appear when you stare at the TV screen. However, to some extent they demonstrate evidence of the concept.
Augmented reality has the potential to eliminate stationary computer as a primary means of access to information systems. Just as desktop computers are discarded for the benefit of notebooks and mobile phone browsers, the next step could be trading with these system of widespread reality. In the sophisticated AR scenario, you would never have to leave the "real world" to get on the Internet or work on a computer - both would be deeply mixed. In the meantime, however, computer users usually get stuck and look at the LED screens and sit on our butts, do not get much exercise. Unfortunate state of things, really.
