This article presents the important foundation of Augmented Reality (AR) technology. Its main objective is to envision the past, present and future of Augmented Reality technology. Augmented Reality technology especially on the mobile device will be widely used in the daily life in the near future. In order to comprehend foundation of Augmented Reality, this paper has been categorized into three sections: 1) comparison of Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality (VR) 2) understanding Augmented Reality hype cycle and 3) facts about Augmented Reality. Its future directions and areas requiring further research are discussed.

4. What is Augmented
Reality?
•the AR technology involves the exhibit and manipulation
of 2D and 3D objects. The real images or 3D and the text
of AR application appear on the computer screen when
the camera device installs the software by capturing the
marker through Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)
•Augmented Reality has various levels of application.
•It is fundamentally an engaging technological process of
combining live video with computer-generated data and
visualizations at one level.
•At another, it is using technology to import computerized
graphics against a real environment background.

8. 1.Comparison of AR and VR
•From 2009 AR has become a more common
topic in both search volume index terms and
news reference volume than VR.
•This result seems to reflect the ubiquitous
growth of mobile technology as well as
featured camera technology and the ease of
touch screen mobile phones with Global
Positioning System (GPS) such as the iPhone
and Android phones as the main factors in the
development of AR projects.
•AR will be widely used for educational
purposes within 2-3 years as reported by the
2010 Horizon Report, an annual report on
modern learning and teaching technologies.

12. Level Zero - Physical World
Hyperlinking (2 0f 2)
• 2Dimensionals Quick Response-codes (QR-
codes) which was a specific matrix barcode ,
readable by dedicated QR barcode readers and
camera phones, and the last of this group –
2Dimensionals image recognition which is
popular on mobile applications to recognize a
company logo or film poster .

13. Level One - Marker based
Augmented Reality (1 of 2)
• Marker based Augmented Reality
occupies the highest point on the graph.

14. Level One - Marker based
Augmented Reality (1 of 2)
• The marker based AR is the most exciting
innovation for an amateur user.
• The cooler marker was a 3D recognition
when the camera captured the recognized
physical objects such as an apple.

15. Level Two - Markerless
Augmented Reality
• Markerless Augmented Reality is almost
at the peak of inflated expectations; it has
started in 2010. The main factor driving
the popularity of markerless AR was GPS
and its compass which is common in
smart phones.

16. Level Three - Augmented Vision
• The lens used sensors and wireless
technology to allow bionic eyesight.
People who wore this AR contact lens
were able to monitor their heart by making
use of tiny circuits and Light-Emitting
Diode (LEDs) [16].

21. Conclusion
• AR technology will be used to contribute to
smart innovation projects in the future
because of its potentials and fascination.
• The usefulness of AR technology
encourages researchers and
programmers to create innovative
products which should make life more
interesting in the future.

Notes de l'éditeur
This is the simplest AR that did not engage users with real time rendering and display of graphics. This level of AR was the most developed and the adoption of this level zero happened in 2010. This zero level included: 1Dimensional bar code which was the identifier as registered in the database (Figure 3), 2Dimensionals Quick Response-codes (QR-codes) which was a specific matrix barcode (Figure 4), readable by dedicated QR barcode readers and camera phones, and the last of this group – 2Dimensionals image recognition which is popular on mobile applications to recognize a company logo or film poster (Figure 5) [9]-[10]. The main reason that supported the level zero adoption was an availability of software both generating and reading the 2D code which freely services on smart phones.
