Open Hybrid - augmented reality interacting with Physical world
Computer vision tracking in augmented reality
Open
Hybrid is a platform that allows you interact with physical world. It
combines physical objects with augmented user interface. This platform allows
to designers create an Augmented reality apps with simple HTML interface. Benefits
is that programmers of the apps only using interface and no 3D or computer
vision knowledge is needed. You can add functionality to the physical world
object and deploy your program on platforms like Arduino.
Open Hybrid augmented reality controller
For
example, you can add a virtual slider for the physical devices controlled by
Arduino or another platform.
Can
you imagine usage of this framework in daily live?
Brilliant
idea, It could be simple interface for everything you want. Do you want control
heater? Lets put marker on devices you want to control and add the augmented
reality control heater panel. Simple slider let you control your physical
devices. Also you can add another data
sources to your project and interact with object based on actual temperature
and so on.
Problem of augmented reality
What is
main problem of this solution? Actually, why should you control object like
this if you can control directly by web interface in common web application.
The devices is still connected with physical object. Everything is same but in
augmented reality you can control physical world by virtual slicer. This is
really cool! But the physical devices can be controlled directly by normal
slider on mobile app. There is only one difference. Virtual slider appear on
marker and slider in phone appear when you start the app. I am pretty sure that
the marker in simple app works perfectly.
Is there
any advantages. S My first thought is about location. You are a
manager of large warehouse and you have lots of things to control and authenticate.
But still there is a marker. You can simply start controller of your object in
simple web app by QR code instead augmented reality app.
Maybe the
advantages is about connecting many physical devices into more complex control
platforms and visualize the relations between them. Another advantages is control of moving things, where the visual overview is needed.
Another info on project link
Augmented Reality is a term for a live view of the physical environment whose elements are merged with, or augmented by virtual computer-generated imagery - creating a mixed reality.
