History
1957–62: Morton Heilig, a cinematographer, creates and
patents a simulator called Sensorama with visuals, sound,
vibration, and smell.
1968: Ivan Sutherland invents the
head-mounted display
(first augmented reality system)
1992: Tom Caudell developed
the software. Caudell & David Mizell
coin the term "augmented reality"

Goals of Augmented Reality.
The goal of Augmented Reality is to create a system in
which the user cannot tell the difference between the
real world and the virtual augmentation of it.

Advantages of Augmented Reality
Anyone can use it.
When used in the medical field to train, it can save
lives.
Can be used in exposing military personnel to real live
situations without exposing them to real life danger.
Can save million of dollars by testing situations (like
new buildings) to confirm their success.
Knowledge, information increments are possible.
Experiences are shared between people in real time.
Video Games provide an even more “real” experience.

Disadvantages of augmented Reality
Production is Expensive
Augmented reality Games like "first person shooters"
have been believed to increase teen aggression
because they increase violence
Openness: Content layers can be developed by
consumers for display. (Spam)
The use of Facial Recognition Technology combined
with Geo-location & Augmented data will display your
Facebook Status, Tweets etc., to Strangers
Information Overload & Augmenting without Permission

Conclusion
To add information & Meaning to a Real Life object or
Place. Unlike Virtual Reality, Augment Reality doesn't
create a simulation of Reality, but it augments the
Reality or mix the Virtual with Real
Augmented Reality will further blur the line between
What's real & what's computer generated by
enhancing what we see, hear, feel & smell
It has possibilities beyond our Imagination &
Perception. It will have huge applications in almost
every field.
