The Role of Augmented Reality within Ambient Intelligence

An Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology which provides the user with a real time 3D enhanced perception of a physical environment with addition virtual elements-either virtual scenery, information regarding surroundings, other contextual information-and is also capable of hiding or replacing real structures. With Augmented Reality applications becoming more advanced, the ways the technology can be viably used is increasing. Augmented Reality has been used for gaming several times with varying results. AR systems are seen by some as an important part of the ambient intelligence landscape. Therefore, the authors present several types of augmentation applications of AR in the domestic, industrial, scientific, medicinal, and military sectors which may benefit future ambient intelligent systems.
