Augmented Reality_2

 I have did a further research in "Augmented Reality". To make it simple, there are 2 types. They are Maker based and Location based. Augmented Reality is element that can be view physically and enable the user to interact with the element that augmented by computer generated sensory input. It can be view by downloading certain apps in smart phone.Augmented Reality has bring lots of benefit to us because it can apply in medical application, industrial, military , and also entertainment. For example, we can use it to place our furniture and changing colors before moving in to the new house.

 Besides, augmented marker based can be use in education. For example, it use marker based to generate a 3D short video to replace a normal maths question. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Zb2spZvHFQ. In conclusion, marker based is marker detection for augmented reality(http://www.infi.nl/blog/view/id/56/Marker_Detection_for_Augmented_Reality_Applications).

 Location based is almost same with marker based. The different is location based use weather to generate the elements. Location based mainly use in mobile apps such as gps, games and so on and so forth. For example, Time Treasure is a games that used location based services. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NMQ5DFkU794&playnext=1&list=PL107CE7E9E352FC91&feature=results_main
 The interesting thing that I have found is we could create a doll or any of the character to interact with the user. Dolls that can talk and it much more like a pet. We can even place a house or other objects to the dolls and they could do something with the house. It just like raising a pet. For example, I can create a creature or monster and interact with it and raise it as my pet.
