Understanding the AR landscape
As we start our exploration of AR, it’s crucial to first understand the foundational elements that enable this technology. How is it that our everyday devices can so effortlessly intertwine our physical reality with the digital? What mechanisms allow your device to sense, interpret, and interact with the world around it? And, perhaps most intriguingly, how can a simple screen transform into a doorway to an enhanced reality?
In this section, we aim to unpack the complex principles and mechanisms of AR, distilling them into a comprehensible format.
If terms such as AR, MR, and VR still seem opaque or interchangeable to you, consider revisiting Chapter 1 for clarification. For now, our focus remains on AR, which transforms our world by superimposing it with elements of the digital domain. Let’s look at the different types of experiences that AR offers.
