Augmented Reality in Security Systems

Security and privacy for augmented reality systems

Augmented reality (AR) technologies promise to enhance our perception of and interaction with the real world. Unlike virtual reality systems, which replace the real world with a simulated one, augmented reality systems sense properties of the physical world and overlay computer-generated visual, audio, and haptic signals onto real-world feedback in real time. In this article, we consider the se...

Consistency in Augmented Reality Systems

Systems combining the real and the virtual are becoming more and more prevalent. The Augmented Reality (AR) paradigm illustrates this trend. In comparison with traditional interactive systems, such AR systems involve real entities and virtual ones. And the duality of the two types of entities involved in the interaction has to be studied during the design. We therefore present the ASUR notation...

Evaluating Augmented Reality Systems

Categorizing Augmented Reality Systems

Augmented Reality (AR) superimposes virtual information onto the real world. AR system development is reaching the maturity of Virtual Reality (VR) systems. However, AR systems vary considerably due to the variety of applications that use different input and output methods. There is therefore a need to categorize these systems in order to ascertain the options available in the use of AR for par...

Compatibility and Continuity in Augmented Reality Systems

Integrating virtual information and new action in the real world of the user, is becoming a crucial challenge for the designers of interactive systems. The Augmented Reality (AR) paradigm illustrates this trend. Virtual information or new action are defined by the AR system to facilitate or to enrich the natural way the user would interact with the real environment. We focus on the outputs of s...
