Starting point is 00:00:36 Augmented Reality Everyone has probably heard of it, but not that many people know what it is or what the magnitude of its implication could mean. Augmented reality is not to be confused with that ridiculous virtual reality phase of the 1980s. Augmented reality seems like something straight out of a science fictional futuristic movie. But the odd truth is, it's here today, and it's easily accessible to anyone with a smartphone. In fact, I'll be showing you some augmented reality applications within this video with my own smart-to-day. with my own smartphone. Just a few years ago, this phenomena would have seemed absurd, if not impossible to the common man. But as you've seen from my previous videos, mobile technology
Starting point is 00:01:35 has been screaming long at a ridiculously fast pace, taking all those who aren't paying attention by surprise. With this new power, augmented reality may just be the thing that will change our lives. It could just be the next step in the way we collect, process and interact with information. It's just a matter of time before major corporations and small companies alike see the limitless potential in this recent marriage of the smartphone and augmented reality. To fully understand just how far we've come, let me show you a small excerpt from a TV show aired in the year 2006. Hollywood has been mixing graphics in the real world for years and movies.
Starting point is 00:02:14 The difference is what used to take millions of dollars and months of work can now be done with a standard PC in seconds. And the applications are endless. Replace that PC with a smartphone and you have the augmented reality or AR of today. So what is AR exactly? Let me show you. In its most simple form, AR can be described as the computer-generated modification of a real-world environment in real time. This is usually done through a camera and a software algorithm.
Starting point is 00:02:43 So as you can see, I had a piece of paper that served as our reference point for our AR algorithm. And I simply just go to the application called Hands on AR and open it up and as you can see a phone just magically appears in front where that piece of paper would be. So I'm guessing not many people in the world have seen this kind of thing. So as you can see I can shift it around and move it and the phone will track it in real time. So for all you technology enthusiasts out there, this app has a whole bunch of phones and different makes and models and sizes and even some tablets that you can choose and make them appear in front of your phone.
Starting point is 00:03:17 So that's just one little application of what you're going to. augmented reality and you're free to check it out in the description below. So let's take a closer look. Here we have a more three-dimensional object and as you can see everything moves around as you'd expect it to and if we stay legendary director Ridley Scott returns in IMAX. It's no surprise how fast civilization can disappear. Go! Out there.
Starting point is 00:03:42 It's kill or be killed. Jacob Allorty. There are people out there. They need our help. Josh Brolin. Shoot first! Can inquire afterwards. Margaret Qualley. Okay, tough guy. And Guy Pearce.
Starting point is 00:03:54 Arm up! The Dog Stars, directed by Ridley Scott, now playing in theaters. If you don't have a look at the cloud, you'll see that they are indeed moving across the table surface. And of course, if we move our camera angle too far, there is a limit to the recognition of the marker point. Of course, this is very early days in the AR world. And what better place to see the future than a TED Talk? Matt Mills has more. So wouldn't it be amazing if our phones can see the world in the same way that we do?
Starting point is 00:04:23 As we're walking around being able to point the phone at anything, and then have it actually recognise images and objects like the human brain, and then be able to pull in information from an almost infinite library of knowledge and experience and ideas. Well, traditionally that was seen as science fiction, but now we've moved to a world where actually this has become possible. What we have here is a painting of the great poet Robbie Burns, and it's just a normal image.
Starting point is 00:04:47 But if we now switch inputs over to the phone, running our technology, you can see effectively what tomorrow is seeing on the screen. And when she points at this image, something magical happens. But as I move the object around, it's gonna track it and overlay that content seamlessly. Again, the thing that's incredible about this
Starting point is 00:05:14 is this is how advanced these devices have become. All the processing to do that was actually done on the device itself. Matt Mills did give one example of an AI application that did catch my attention. So now what I can do is rather than getting the instructions for the device online, I can simply point at it, the device is recognised, and then... Begin by plugging in the great ADSL cable, then connect the power,
Starting point is 00:05:41 finally the yellow Ethernet cable, congratulations, you have now completed setup. Awesome, thank you! As you're probably starting to imagine, the Apple-Cayette are practically limitless. Here's another application that has actually been implemented by users of Matt Mill software. People who have, for example,
Starting point is 00:06:00 taken the inside of the engine bay of an old car and tagged up different components within an engine so that if you're stuck and you want to find out more, you can point and discover the information. Alright, well you're probably thinking, that's all well and good, but what do we have right now, what can I download on my smartphone as of this moment? Let me show you.
Starting point is 00:06:16 There's another application called 3D Compass Plus, and this time, instead of using just a camera, uses your GPS and other positioning systems such as the accelerometer to give a realistic view and real-time update of a compass and your position. It may not be the most cutting edge thing but it is still a proof of concept. Okay well let's look at something more universal. Here we have an application called Augment and this I think is awesome. Anyone from around the world can build a computer-aided model and upload it to this application and then anyone else around the world
Starting point is 00:06:46 can download that model and have that model sit on their table or have that visual representation animated. Let's take a look at a few. Legendary is here with BetMGM Sportsbook. Sign up to unlock access to hundreds of prematch and live betting options for all your favorite sports.

So I'm sure you can see that the community
Starting point is 00:08:15 had a little bit of fun there. In these early stages of AR, most of the applications are just for fun. So let's move on to something else. This app is called Google SkyMap. It allows you to see the positions of planets with respect to you, using your phone's global positioning system. If you're after more than just planets,
Starting point is 00:08:32 it are options to enable star constellations and other points of interest. If that's your kind of thing, it's free to download from the marketplace. It's going to be in the description as well. We can even play games using AR. This one's called AR Defender and as you just saw I drew my own reference point and the tower just popped up just like that. The point of this game is to defend the tower by shooting with any enemies that come along your way.
Starting point is 00:08:56 There are also planes that fly over and drop bombs and things like that. You simply just tilt the position of the phone to aim and tap the fire button to fire. But unfortunately I couldn't demonstrate it properly because both my hands were in use. But you get the idea. There are a few AR applications that do hold some exciting opportunities but haven't been mentioned explicitly in this video. One of these is the AR browser. Yes, you heard right, the augmented reality web browser.
Starting point is 00:09:22 It may be a few years before this kind of thing becomes commonplace, maybe in the next four years, but the strange thing is there are some that have existed and do exist today. Once again, a link to two of these will be noted in the description below. Two such web browsers are Guneo and Laya, hopefully I've pronounced those correctly. But before we end this video and reach the conclusions of what's make of augmented reality, let's take a quick break and then we'll be back after this. So welcome back guys, hopefully enjoying the second episode of Coldfuston TV. But back to the story. What would augmented reality be without Google Glass?
Starting point is 00:10:02 Google Glass is unveiled in 2012 and is expected to be released in the year 2014. Strangely enough, the reaction to the unveiling was largely lukewarm. It may be due to the fact that the general public is resistant to change, and may not see the bigger picture of what augmented reality could mean. I'm sure we'll look back on the 2012-2013 days of augmented reality and laugh at how primitive everything was. It reminds me of how multimedia first emerged in the mid-1990s. But anyway...
Starting point is 00:10:30 Legendary has arrived in Alberta with BetMGM Casino. Sign up to unlock access to over 4,000 casino games, including exclusive slots you can't spin anywhere else.
