Augmented Reality 101
From essential vocabulary to the impact on business and daily life
In this new issue, we take a closer look at the Augmented Reality technology by defining basic concepts as well as how it integrates with and supports the development of other disrupting technologies such as 5G, IoT and AI. You can read about the fundamental terms you need to know when talking about AR in the latest article on our blog. Furthermore, Gartner’s report perfectly complements our piece by giving an overview of the essential personal technologies to implement at work starting today. Hint: AR will significantly reshape the way we will engage with our colleagues and customer in real-time, enabled by faster 5G wireless networks.
AR will also make the space around us a sort of empty canvas upon which everyone will be able to overlay virtual contents according to their personal views. But before further increasing the spread of fake news, hate speech and discriminations based on culture, gender or ethnicity through immersive technologies, we need to develop specific ethical rules and standards to prevent this kind of side effects.
Lastly, you can read an account of our micro-hackathon with Verdigris and DGI held at Nasa Ames Center, to test our AR applications on smart buildings’ IoT energy systems installation process.
