Abstract

In the last decade with the advances in computer hardware technologies, display devices, controller devices, software enhancements has tremendously aided the Augmented Reality (AR) Technology to grow from leaps to bounds. Augmented Reality (AR) is a technique that enables users to interact with their physical environment through the overlay of digital information. AR is a field of computer science which deals with combination of reality with computer generated data i.e it aids enhancement over a real world environment in real time. Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) are technologies that have a wide spread reach in various technological fronts and has a very promising prospect for various diversified research avenues. An in-depth understanding of trends, challenges, future scope for AR systems is discussed in this survey paper. Authors have made a conscious effort to investigate the state of the art in AR Technologies and its diversified engineering application areas. Various aspects of the design of an AR system are taken into consideration, like the interface devices for interacting with virtual world, software’s, the hardware etc. Also, described are a few specific applications that have been developed using the AR technology and possible avenues for future research in the field of AR. Latest trends & evolution of this technology have been touched upon for better understanding. Various applications have been explored and possible approach for enhancing the use of this technology have been discussed. We have discussed some of the limitations in developing such systems. Tools available for development of AR applications that satisfy the current requirements are included. Future directions and suggestions for effectively and efficiently improving the application areas have been focused upon. This paper will provide a better insight for anyone who wishes to do research in the field of AR.
