What is Argumental realty?

Argumental realty is a type of virtul reality that aims to create aspects of the worlds envierment in a computer. An augmented reality system allows a user to take in information (such as a photo) from the surrounding area and the computer adds additional information. This is designed to enhancce the users experience of the world, allowing them access to information (such as 3D models, old picture, mesurment ect) they would have never know before. Augmented reality is used in many industries today such as entertainment, military training, engineering design, robotics, manufacturing and others. Argumental realty brings something new and unquic to each of these industries.

Argumental realty

For are argumental realty project we had to take a 3D object and put it in a programme called Junaio. Which adds all the things needed to make the argumental realty. The first thing I had to do was find a 3D object. Which was very hard because the programme can only handle very simple shapes with not many surfaces. Why we are using such a out of date programme is silly to me.However after hours of searching and I mean hours! I finally found a shape that was small enough that I could convert to md2.  Below is a image of my 3D object converted.




Once the 3D object is converted, we then had to upload it to a programme called Junaio which is very fussy to the least. Trying to find textures and tracking images for this programme to take is not a simple task. But once I had found one that it would accept I uploaded my object put a beige texture on it and a photo of people crossing the road for the tracking image.  You can scale and move around the image using the sliders at the bottom of the example. Once I was happy with how it looked I created my argumental realty.



This is my final project. To be honest I do not understand why anyone would want to create or use argumental realty. The idea sound really good but putting it into practice is horrible. I do not know if it was the way we were taught or if it really is this bad. But I can think of some many other things that are just as good and are so much simpler.
