Introduction to Augmented RealityR. Silva, J. C. Oliveira, G. A. GiraldiNational Laboratory for Scientific Computation,Av. Getulio Vargas, 333 - Quitandinha - paper presents an overview of basic aspects of Augmented Reality (AR) and the mainconcepts of this technology. It describes the main fields in which AR is applied nowadaysand important AR devices. Some characteristics of Augmented Reality systems will bediscussed and this paper will provide an overview of them. Future directions are : Augmented Reality , Virtual Reality , Scientific Visualization1 INTRODUCTIONA ugmented Reality (AR) is a new technologythat involves the overlay of computer graph-ics on the real world (Figure 1). One of thebest overviews of the technology is [4], thatdefined the field, described many problems,and summarized the developments up to thatpoint. That paper provides a starting pointfor anyone interested in researching or usingAugmented is within a more general context termedMixed Reality (MR) [20], which refers toa multi-axis spectrum of areas that coverVirtual Reality (VR), AR, telepresence , andother related Reality is a term used for computer-generated 3D environments that allow theuser to enter and interact with synthetic en-vironments [9][27][28].
