A Survey of Augmented Reality Technologies, Applications and Limitations

2010, 9(2):1-20 | D.W.F. van Krevelen and R. Poelman
This paper provides an overview of Augmented Reality (AR) technologies, their applications, and limitations. AR is a technology that enhances the real world with virtual elements, improving perception and interaction. The paper covers the definition, history, enabling technologies, and characteristics of AR. It reviews recent applications in fields such as education, maintenance, design, and reconnaissance, highlighting the potential of AR to support various activities. The paper also discusses the challenges and limitations, particularly in human factors, that developers need to address. Key aspects include visual, auditory, and haptic displays, tracking sensors, user interfaces, and interaction methods. The applications section explores personal information systems, industrial and military uses, and the potential for widespread adoption in everyday life.This paper provides an overview of Augmented Reality (AR) technologies, their applications, and limitations.
