Augmented reality helmet for soldiers exceeds expectations. The Q-Warrior helmet-mounted head-up display for soldiers has performed better than expected in testing, said the system’s developer BAE Systems.
The augmented reality display for soldiers, similar to those used by jet pilots and designed to improve identification of targets and waypoints, was field-tested by US military researchers. "Q-Warrior increases the user's situational awareness by providing the potential to display 'eyes-out' information to the user, including textual information, warnings and threats,” explained Paul Wright, Soldier Systems' Business Development Lead at BAE Systems' Electronic Systems.
"Other key features include enhanced night vision, waypoints and routing information, and the ability to track both personnel and assets,” Wright said. The Q-Warrior helmet is equipped with a high-resolution, see-through head-up display that enables the soldiers to see information embedded into real-life surroundings. 302 Moved. Click to enlarge DAQRI Interacting with objects in 4D "You unlock this door with the key of imagination," begins the introductory monologue of The Twilight Zone.
"Beyond it is another dimension. A dimension of sound. A dimension of sight. With less sinister implications, the words would have been a fitting preface to Imagine the World in 4D, the first 4-D expo from augmented reality developer DAQRI, held at the company's headquarters on the Los Angeles Center Studios campus downtown. Augmented reality device could save companies millions. Google Glass is often touted as a potentially powerful social networking and engagement tool due to its use of augmented reality.
While such estimations may be accurate, Glass may also be a major boon for businesses. According to market research firm Gartner, Glass, and similar devices, could help businesses save $1 billion a year within the next five years. Augmented reality has a role to play in these savings as the technology unlocks new forms of communication. AR can change the way businesses communicate Hands-free access to the Internet can make communication more efficient for companies.
The future of business through smartglasses. It appears that science fiction has overcome reality when things such as a doctor carrying out a surgery with the help of smartglasses take place in our daily routine.
The augmented reality technology used by Dr. Pierre Theodore to simultaneously perform a surgery and view a patient’s X-rays, in order to remove fluid from a deflated lung, was Google Glass, which is basically a head-mounted computer equipped with Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, camera, and voice activation, that enables users to have both hands free all the time. Field of action As the previous example showed, smartglasses have the potential to enhance work efficiency in a wide range of areas including field service, manufacturing, healthcare, and retails, informed the research firm Gartner. 3D, Virtual Reality, And Immersive Technology At The U Of OIT - 3D, VR, And Immersive Tech: The Perfect Storm.
Fewer than four years have passed since 3D Blu-ray technology was first made available.
Before that, the only stereoscopic movies you could buy included a handful of anaglyph (red/blue) DVDs. And true 3D-capable televisions were not really available in the consumer space. Although it's true that the new media format didn't explode like some anticipated/hoped it would, at least 3D aficionados now have fairly mainstream access to hardware and content that most people didn't even dream of in 2007. That was the year I wrote my first stereoscopic 3D article, Wall-Sized 3D Displays: The Ultimate Gaming Room. In order to put that piece together, I used a 1024x768 DLP projector with an 85 Hz refresh rate.
Back in 2007, 3D was in the hands of hardcore fringe enthusiasts, and reliable information was very had to come by. I contacted Neil by email once when I was researching an article, and was immediately impressed with his breadth of knowledge and willingness to share it. Meta glasses present 'augmented reality' A startup is creating glasses that let you interact with virtual objects in the real worldGlasses let you place 3-D holograms in real world, then reach out and touch themCEO of startup Meta: The potential applications are endless"We're looking to change the way people interact with computers," he says (CNN) -- Imagine a world where anyone could be like Tony Stark in the "Iron Man" movies -- manipulating 3-D images in thin air.
That future could be a lot closer than you think. A Silicon Valley startup called Meta is creating augmented-reality glasses that will let you interact with virtual objects in the real world. "It elicits this very magical effect where you could literally place holograms on the real world, reach out and touch them with your hands," said Meron Gribetz, Meta founder and CEO.
Gribetz, 28, is the brains behind the technology. As a student, he began contemplating what the next computer could be. "We all live together, work together, eat together," he said. New `air touch` technology to bring `Minority Report` system closer to reality. What will your camera look like in 2020? USA TODAY - Imagine the year 2020: Augmented reality glasses like Google Glass are everywhere.
Cars are connected and, in some cases, driverless. Your smartphone is less a phone than a command center uniting the various nodes of your technological self — watch, glasses, wallet and car alike. But what about your personal camera? 302 Moved. REDWOOD CITY, Calif. – In the next five years or so, you will probably be picking up a new pair of augmente-reality glasses.
And that’s not all. “Ten percent of Westerners will be wearing some kind of augmented glasses [in the next five years],” former EA chief creative officer Bing Gordon asserted. “They probably won’t be Watch 1.0 or Google Glass 1.0, but they’re too seductive. It’s too powerful not to get there, especially for a multitasking generation.” Augmented reality was only one of the topics of conversation in a GamesBeat 2013 discussion between Gordon and investor Tim Chang that also predicted the future of gamification, the next generation of console gaming, and other hot button issues.
Www.digitaljournal.com/pr/1555768. NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Oct 30, 2013) - Infinity Augmented Reality, Inc.
("Infinity Augmented Reality" or "Infinity AR") (: ), the first augmented reality software platform to connect universally with digital eyewear such as Google Glass and Meta, smartphones and tablets, announced today that it is maximizing its revenue potential in the $67 billion music industry by revolutionizing the way entertainment and music are interacted and delivered. Infinity AR is creating the Virtual Media Center, a future revenue producing product that brings the enjoyment of augmented reality to the masses and that takes entertainment mediums such as music, sporting events, and television and creates a whole new user experience. This is done through a breakthrough platform that provides an extraordinary immersive experience for the user.

Augmented reality -- a live view of your environment with elements enhanced by computer-generated input -- will undoubtedly revolutionize the way we interact with the world, and even the way we drive. Chevrolet Volt owners are already experiencing game-changing advanced technology (via two interactive color LCD screens that monitor and provide efficiency feedback based on one's driving style), but there are already products like Google Glass on the cusp of mass-market adoption -- essentially a wearable smartphone that looks like a pair of glasses, with a smart display imposed on the user's field of vision that can record video, take pictures, send texts and more, all controlled by voice command.
So it isn't that much of a leap to consider: What if augmented reality was used in cars? What if, say, the windshield had voice-command smart displays? Think about it. This Clever Augmented Reality System Lets Drivers See Through Cars. Credit: Michel Ferreira It is hard to imagine, but there was once a time when cars didn’t come equipped with rearview mirrors. In fact, it wasn’t until 1916 that the simple, yet game-changing invention became standard, making it easy for drivers to safely weave through traffic—except, of course, in those situations when they’re stuck behind a slow moving cargo truck on a two-lane road.
Too bad there wasn’t also a way to see ahead of these road turtles to determine when it would be safe to pass. Today, it’s 100 percent possible, and to prove it, researcher Michel Ferreira of the University of Porto in Portugal has developed a technology that seems to magically let you peer through the car you’re trailing. The See-Through System makes innovative use of these systems by tapping into the visual data being recorded by the forward-facing webcam that some vehicles have installed on their windshield. ORA “true augmented reality” glasses to ship in January. ORA, a wearable computer similar to Google Glass, was showcased today at GMIC San Francisco, the largest mobile tech conference in Silicon Valley. Optinvent, the manufacturer behind the wearable, is billing the headwear as "the only true AR smart glass" on the market.
ORA doesn't shy from looking clunky, embracing its necessary bulk with bold styling. ORA is unique in that it has two modes: a full AR mode and a dashboard mode. In full AR mode, ORA's display appears directly in front of the wearer's field of vision, a feature which Google Glass does not have. In dashboard mode, the display is positioned 20 degrees off center and nearer to the wearer's periphery for a more Glass-like, glance-based UX. An ambient light sensor automatically adjusts the brightness of the display, which measures in at 85 in. when in a perspective of 15 feet.
How Augmented Reality Can Help Federal Agencies. In the future, a border agent may use computerized glasses to identify signs that a vehicle might be transporting drugs. By processing information about the vehicle — improperly inflated tires, for example, or an off-kilter grill — the glasses alert the agent that the vehicle should be inspected more closely. “I think those kinds of things, you might be able to do fairly quickly” using augmented reality technology, says Mark Borkowski, assistant commissioner of the Office of Technology Innovation and Acquisition at U.S.
Taking reality to new heights - Tech News. Motorola teases augmented reality app with “Windy Day” video ad. Looks like Motorola is cooking up a treat and has enlisted the help of animation studio Pixar to bring in a new augmented reality experience exclusively to users of its impressive Moto X smartphone. Augmented reality has somewhat been a holy grail of mobile information and interactivity, ranging from simply map overlays in apps like Layar to one-time marketing and sales gimmicks to full-fledged alternate reality games like Ingress.
Most of these, however, involved showing static displays, images, or overlays. Motorola, however, seems to have planned something new, creative, and ambitious, but it will need some help from the people who know those words best. Academy Award-winning director Jan Pinkava created an animated short entitled "Windy Day" which was used at Qualcomm's Uplinq conference to demonstrate Pixar's real-time animation process. Motorola and Pixar have now teamed up to bring Pinkava's masterpiece into the hands of Moto X users, with an augmented reality bent.
