The problem with augmented reality is that you need incredibly low latency: http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/abrash/latency-the-sine-qua-non-of-ar-and-vr/ http://blogs.valvesoftware.com/abrash/latency-the-sine-qua-n...
Early systems will likely stick to simple HUD views that don't require tracking of real objects with low latency.
- netcraft 14y agoyeah, for realtime AR, latency would be a big challenge, but even if in the beginning you could only take a picture and then overlay a schematic over the top of that view, I could see it being useful. I have looked up how to take a laptop apart before to change a part that required me to remove screws in certain places, unhook cables and do other steps in a particular order. Half the trouble with that is figuring out where the picture corresponds to the device in your hands - even if you had to manual advance the instructions, a HUD arrow pointing to the screw would be super useful I think.
- netcraft 14y agoThat video is exactly what im talking about - I think it could be done even better, but you can see the possibilities. I dont really understand the need for tint on those glasses, but im sure it was just an example ;)
- meanderingman 14y agoThats cool. Its from 2007 though. There is a similar project being worked on by Metaio that uses 3d tracking and runs on most tablet devices: http://youtu.be/iz4ykMn3UR4?t=26s http://youtu.be/iz4ykMn3UR4?t=26s
