Augmented reality - Virtual retinal display
A virtual retinal display (VRD) is a personal display device under development at the University of Washington's Human Interface Technology Laboratory

Augmented reality - EyeTap
The EyeTap (also known as Generation-2 Glass[ “GlassEyes”: The Theory of EyeTap Digital Eye Glass, supplemental material for IEEE Technology and Society, Volume Vol. 31, Number 3, 2012, pp ].) captures rays of light that would otherwise pass through the center of a lens of an eye of the wearer, and substituted each ray of light for synthetic computer-controlled light.

Augmented reality - EyeTap
The Generation-4 Glass (Laser EyeTap) is similar to the VRD (i.e. it uses a computer controlled laser light source) except that it also has infinite depth of focus and causes the eye itself to, in effect, function as both a camera and a display, by way of exact alignment with the eye, and resynthesis (in laser light) of rays of light entering the eye.Intelligent Image Processing, John Wiley and Sons, 2001, ISBN , 384 p.

Augmented reality - Handheld
Handheld displays employ a small display that fits in a user's hand

Augmented reality - Spatial
Spatial Augmented Reality (SAR) augments real world objects and scenes without the use of special displays such as Computer monitor|monitors, Head-mounted display|head mounted displays or hand-held devices

Examples include shader lamps, mobile projectors, virtual tables, and smart projectors. Shader lamps mimic and augment reality by projecting imagery onto neutral objects, providing the opportunity to enhance the object’s appearance with materials of a simple unit- a projector, camera, and sensor.

Virtual showcases, which employ beam-splitter mirrors together with multiple graphics displays, provide an interactive means of simultaneously engaging with the virtual and the real.Many more implementations and configurations make spatial Augmented Reality display an increasingly attractive interactive alternative.

Augmented reality - Everyday
Since the 1970s and early 1980s, Steve Mann has been developing technologies meant for everyday use i.e. horizontal across all applications rather than a specific vertical market. Examples include Mann's EyeTap Digital Eye Glass, a general-purpose seeing aid that does dynamic-range management (HDR vision) and overlays, underlays, simultaneous augmentation and diminishment (e.g. diminishing the electric arc while looking at a welding torch).

Augmented reality - Gaming
Augmented Reality allows gamers to experience digital game play in a real world environment. In the last 10 years there has been a lot of improvements of technology, resulting in better movement detection and the possibility for the Wii to exist, but also direct detection of the player's movements.

Augmented reality - Industrial design
AR can help industrial designers experience a product's design and operation before completion. Volkswagen uses AR for comparing calculated and actual crash test imagery. AR can be used to visualize and modify a car body structure and engine layout. AR can also be used to compare digital mock-ups with physical mock-ups for finding discrepancies between them.

Augmented reality - Medical
Augmented Reality can provide the surgeon with information, which are otherwise hidden, such as showing the heartbeat rate, the blood pressure, the state of the patient’s organ, etc. AR can be used to let a doctor look inside a patient by combining one source of images such as an X-ray with another such as video.

Spatial Augmented Reality
'Projection mapping', also known as 'video mapping' and 'spatial Augmented Reality', is a video projection|projection technology used to turn objects, often irregularly shaped, into a display surface for video projection

Spatial Augmented Reality - History
Until about 3 years ago, projection mapping was referred to as Spatial Augmented Reality and Shader Lamps [ and invented at University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill by Ramesh Raskar, Greg Welch and Henry Fuchs

Spatial Augmented Reality - Methods
After the object which will be projected on is chosen or created, a virtual replica of the entire physical set up needs to be created

Spatial Augmented Reality - Productions, advertisement and art
Projection mapping first came to prominence through guerilla advertising campaigns and VJing|video jockeys for electronic musicians

In the electronic dance music (EDM) community, it is becoming increasingly common for DJ's to accompany their music with synced visuals

Artists may use it as an avant garde form of expression as it is new technology that can turn their creative ideas into 3D projections, connecting with audiences in a new way

Augmented Reality Markup Language
the camera of an AR-capable device serves as the main output for Augmented Reality scenarios).

Augmented Reality Markup Language - Data model
ARML is built on a generic object model that allows serialization in several languages. Currently, ARML defines an XML serialization, as well as a JSON serialization for the ECMAScript bindings. The ARML object model consists of three main concepts:

* 'Features' represent the physical object that should be augmented.

* 'VisualAssets' describe the appearance of the virtual object in the augmented scene.

* 'Anchors' describe the spatial relation between the physical and the virtual object.

Augmented Reality Markup Language - Feature
The definition of a Feature is reused from the Geography Markup Language|Geography Markup Language (GML) and describes the physical object that should be augmented. The physical object is described by a set of metadata, including an ID, a name and a description. A Feature has one or more Anchors.

Augmented Reality Markup Language - Anchor
An Anchor describes the location of the physical object in the real world. Four different Anchor types are defined in ARML:

Augmented Reality Markup Language - Geometries
Geometries describe the location of an object through a set of fixed coordinates. WGS84 (latitude, longitude, altitude) is used as the default coordinate reference system, other arbitrary coordinate reference systems can be supplied if required. ARML allows 0- (Point), 1- (LineString) and 2-dimensional (Polygon) geometries. Geometry Anchors reuse the syntax as defined in GML3. As an example, the following snippet defines the location of the Wiener Riesenrad.

Augmented Reality Markup Language - Trackables
Trackables are patterns that are searched, recognized and tracked in the video screen coming from the camera of the device

Augmented Reality Markup Language - Trackables
Example: A natural feature tracker and an associated Trackable

Augmented Reality Markup Language - RelativeTo
RelativeTo Anchors allow the definition of a location relative to other Anchors or the user's position. The former allows the setup of a scene and the location of all included virtual objects based on a single Anchor, like a Trackable placed on a table. The latter allows for scenarios where the actual location of the user is irrelevant. The virtual objects are simply placed around the user, regardless of his or her physical location.

Augmented Reality Markup Language - ScreenAnchor
Contrary to the previous three Anchor types, ScreenAnchors do not describe a location in the 3-dimensional virtual scene. Instead, they define an area on the device screen, allowing for status bars and the like.

Augmented Reality Markup Language - VisualAsset
VisualAssets describe the appearance of the virtual objects in the augmented scene. ARML allows various kinds of VisualAssets to be described, including plain text, images, HTML content and 3D models. VisualAssets can be oriented (either to always automatically face the user, or to maintain a specific static orientation) and scaled. Additionally, visibility conditions can be applied (i.e. the Asset is only visible on the screen if the distance to the user is within certain boundaries).

Augmented Reality Markup Language - History
In late 2009, Wikitude (formerly Mobilizy), the creators of the Wikitude World Browser, started an early initiative on creating a format all AR Browsers at that time could adhere to, called the Augmented Reality Markup Language (ARML). This format is now called ARML 1.0 and serves as an input format for the Wikitude World Browser.

Augmented Reality Markup Language - History
During International Symposium on Mixed and Augmented Reality|ISMAR in Atlanta in November 2012, the first ARML 2.0 specification was officially published, making ARML 2.0 an official OGC Candidate Standard.

Augmented Reality Markup Language - Related standards
ARML 2.0 is reusing ideas, structure, syntax and semantics of the following existing and widely used standards:Martin Lechner, The Augmented Reality Markup Language 2.0, Dissertation
