Microsoft’s HoloLens is the final product where Windows Mixed reality is heading. AR headsets basically overlay data, 3D objects and video into your line of vision with the help of a display.Technology innovation is scaling things down to a minuscule and a classic example is your smartphone today. Apple cracked it with ARKit, which allows creators (developers) to play around in these mixed spaces and Google standing right beside with its ARCore ecosystem. What makes MR stand out in the crowd is its highly interactive aspect and the realistic rendering of the projection it adds to our real-life environment and interacts with the immersive content. This headset would be able to interact with objects and 3D screens claim the Florida-based startup. The technology is not yet mature enough for public or commercial use, but we do expect 2018 to see major developments on this front.The world is continuously evolving in the digital space and we are at the threshold of an upcoming revolution where we are immersing ourselves in virtual reality to accomplish seemingly impossible tasks. The Gear VR has been around since 2015 and has steadily evolved alongside the company39;s smartphones. Moreover, Microsoft has the MR Capture Studios and MR Academy in San Francisco, inviting creatives to come experiment with AR and VR. The tech has been existing for years but was mainly used in the military to date. If you have ever used a Snapchat39;s filter or played around with Pokemon GO, then you have already experienced Augmented Reality which mixes a virtual character with the physical world. (you may have seen similar UI options with a few launchers on Android)The only difference between the Oculus Rift or the HTC Vive with Microsoft39;s MR platform is the built-in room-tracking technology where headset scans the boundaries (walls) and works out your location. Magic Leap39;s mysterious new headset Mixed-Reality Goggles is throttle cable for lawn mower factory expected to be released to developers somewhere in 2018. For now, the first wave of Windows MR headsets bends more towards VR that turns an operating system on a PC into a digital room, filled with web browsers and documents adorning the walls. With technology constantly advancing at an alarmingly high pace, the reality is becoming less real and the Virtual Reality tech is developing at breakneck pace.
Moving ahead, Lenovo is also working on Mirage, a smartphone-powered AR headset that will bring outdoor games into the living room and their first is the 39;Star Wars: Jedi Challenges,39; which uses a lightsaber controller. The companies currently working on VR are also diving into AR, while those focused on AR are learning from the trials of MR. It is an AR headset with its own built-in computer, which means that unlike the Vive or the Oculus, you can now leave your laptop or PC behind experience a completely wire-free AR. However, there is still a thought that lingers among many people, trying to understand this fast-moving digital wonders of the near future: What are these realities? What is the difference between them? How will these platforms serve? and so on.2016 saw the launch of major VR platforms — from high-end, high-quality systems such as Facebook’s Oculus Rift and HTC’s Vive to the cheap and cool smartphone-based solutions such as Samsung’s Gear VR and Google’s Daydream. AR is basically a computer program that overlays virtual graphics on top of your existing, real-life environment, while still continuing to let you see the world around you.(Source: Deccan Chronicle)end-ofTags: augmented reality, virtual reality, mixed reality, samsung, google, microsoft. For example, a fighter jet39;s pilot can see the important readings from his dashboard right on his goggles, while he is still looking ahead into the sky — the system overlays the readings on his transparent glasses.2017 has been a remarkable year that brought non-stop growth and awareness to the world of new Reality — Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR) and Mixed Reality (MR). The battleground will see tech giants race each other to be faster, taller and even more powerful, indirectly enhancing the world around us. MR brings people, places, and objects from your physical and digital worlds together in the same frame. 2017 saw VR headsets get cheaper, and simpler, especially citing examples such as Microsoft39;s new Mixed Reality platform. Speaking of Mixed reality and how it is shaping could be a bit confusing.The technology is not yet mature enough for public or commercial use, but we do expect 2018 to see major developments on this
