The article talks about new developments in enabling technologies. Enabling technologies are advances in basic technologies needed to build compelling Augmented Reality (AR) environments. The article starts out by talking bout the advances in the displays used to view the merged virtual and real environments. Some of the displays discussed include Head-worn displays (HWD), Handheld displays, and Projection displays. The article continues and talks about the latest advances in tracking and environment sensing. The environment sensing system Kanade's 3D dome provides effective knowledge of the user's location and the position of all the other objects of interest in the environment. The article also discusses advances in Mediated reality, Photorealistic rendering, Collaborative AR applications, Commercial AR applications, and some of limitations in each of the areas of AR.Chadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18211699208886458564noreply@blogger.com
