Anwendungen der Augmented Reality

by Florian Echtler and Prof. Gudrun Klinker, Ph.D

2 SWS, 4 ECTS

Abstract

Augmented Reality (AR) is a new technology which superimposes virtual information onto the real environment. The information is displayed in 3D and seamlessly integrated in the user's view of the scene.

This proseminar shall provide students with an overview on "classical" approaches and application of Augmented Reality. In each session papers which are representative for different aspects of AR are discussed. Each participant has to prepare such a talk (~45 min), present it and discuss it with the group.

Erweiterte Realität (Augmented Reality, AR) ist eine neue Technologie, die die reale Umgebung mit virtuellen Informationen anreichert. Die Informationen werden hierbei 3-dimensional und lagegerecht in das Sichtfeld des Benutzers eingeblendet.

In diesem Proseminar sollen Studierende einen Überblick über "klassische" Ansätze und Anwendungen von AR gewinnen. Hierzu wird bei jedem Veranstaltungstermin ein repräsentatives Paper zu verschiedenen Aspekten der AR besprochen. Die Aufgabe jedes Teilnehmers besteht dabei darin, einen solchen Vortrag (ca. 45 min) zu halten und mit der Gruppe zu diskutieren.
