NEW ROCHELLE, NY — Our readers always ask the smartest questions! Here are a few examples (list not exhaustive)…
Augmented Reality:
A technology that superimposes a computer-generated image on a user’s view of the real world. The game Pokemon Go is probably the augmented reality example most people are familiar with, but you can now find augmented reality in all sorts of places: retail giant IKEA recently developed an AR app that allows customers to “view” images of its furnishings transposed over their own living space, for example.
Virtual Reality:
A computer-generated simulation of an environment that a person can experience and interact with by wearing a special headset with a screen inside and/or pair of gloves with sensors. Many think of virtual reality as an entertainment tool, but many industries are embracing this technology. This article details how the medical industry is embracing this technology to prepare for complex operations.
Motion Capture:
Recording patterns of movement in a digital format. This is quite common in the film or video game industry, where a human actor’s movements are recorded for the purpose of animating a digital character in a movie or video game.
