subject: Augmented Reality Development-reflecting Ultimate Change In The Technology! [print this page] In recent times, a sea change has been reflected in the Mobile Application Development. The Augmented Reality (AR) Technology is one of such change. Not only this technology is quite advanced but due to the launch of Augmented Reality based Mobile Games, it is in main stream now.
In immersive game environments, augmented Reality based games have made the co-existence of real and virtual objects possible. It enhances the experience of gaming for the players and through position and 3D Movement; it offers new and exciting ways to control his actions.
Adding a significant value to handheld devices as for AG games, Augmented Reality has taken mobile gaming platform to a whole new paradigm. In todays ever changing scenario, these handheld devices are considered as the best alternative. Just behind the screen, most of these devices have a camera on their back, at mass-market cost; it is the only way to achieve see-through effect. Augmented Reality Development has touched new heights in past few years.
By programmers and Augmented Reality developers having the required skill set, AR based games could be developed. Although not defined so much as in the terms of skill set but advanced computer vision skills, 3D modelling (including texturing, shading and rendering), desktop/web/mobile programming, preferred programming languages are usually C++ and C# (can vary according to the platform), passion for pushing the boundaries of new technologies, etc are some of the basic technical literacy which is considered to be mandatory. Any augmented reality company must have professionals having these skills.
By providing information in most entertaining ways, augmented Reality has not only influenced our entertainment world but also has enlightened us. For instance, showing description of the monuments you cross while wearing them, we have such pair of glasses available in market. Similarly, showing you Wikipedia details of any building or street of object you mark, you can use iPads or tablets or Smartphones with apps. Thus, with recreation, you get knowledge mixed.
In many other domains as well like medical, entertainment, military training, engineering design, robotics and telerobotics, etc, Augmented Reality Technology could be used. As in these domains it serves the humanity and helps doctors and soldiers to serve their country and community well, when it is used in domains like medical and military training, its utility increase several folds.
