Enhancing virtual reality (Augmented Reality) will be the future of finding information

No doubt the current Wikipedia become the easiest way that we can use to look up information. Book online encyclopedia has most things in life, from food, toys for the definition, ultra high concept science. However, if you find the information held about one thing that you do not know the name of what? You're simply looking at it and wondering,, so how to know what to enter text?

The alternative to using keyword searches are also gradually emerging. For example, the search feature voice has increasingly been completed and are very much integrated into current smartphones from high-end to mid-range. However, in some new solutions which are perhaps the most notable is the application of enhanced technology of virtual reality (augmented reality - AR).

Currently AR has also started to appear in several places, such as the catalog Interactive catalog vendor famous IKEA furniture, books only Heinz recipes or new feature here is the self- Fireflight action items identified in the Amazon Fire phone. Those are examples of how AR has potential and many large companies have begun to realize it to suit their business areas. Slowly, AR is gradually going into people's lives.

If this trend continues to grow, we will need something similar to Wikipedia but dedicated to 3D object lookup. That's the biggest challenge of the technological world, it is also in addition to how it can be accessed anytime, anywhere other half. But here is something else, we'll talk about it later.

Social networks like Instagram, Pinterest, Snapchat and Facebook is leading the change in the way we humans communicate. A study by New York University shows that about 80% of consumer information on the Internet today is through pictures, while only 10% is through reading. If we acquire knowledge in the form of multimedia through a certain device, we'll learn, remember and express ideas / his information more effectively.

Say Ambarish Mitra, CEO of Blippar (company specializes in providing virtual reality platform to advertise and distribute content), said that he has worked with a lot of ideas about AR. Among them are using Google to search Glass 3D objects in life, and this is entirely possible. However, a question or receive Mitra is: Why should we use AR instead of looking like a traditional writing? Does a catalog the catalog of three-dimensional images can really help us consume content the modern more effective or not?

Mitra says that is definitely better. Of course there are situations where a written finding will be the most practical tool, but AR will satisfy most needs information retrieval from the things we encounter every day. Currently we only have the search engines based on keywords, so we will not know how well the AR and it can meet the needs of humans to what extent.

You imagine, someday you're going on the road and see something weird, you just pulled a smartphone, tablet or even the SmartWatch out and pointed at the object. Immediate results will return and you know what that tree in the family, other furniture produced by one, beautiful car registration to how much money the roadside. Too simple, right?

By unplugging electronics, turned and pointed the camera app like this, we not only find information faster and consume information more effectively as well. Image recognition technology will soon become human eyes, it will automatically find the relevant information. Maybe in the early days, the results returned are still only in the form of text, but nothing can stop it "evolved" into a voice response or feedback even 3D objects.

The way we interact with the device will be an extremely important factor in AR. We always think that the smartphone, tablet or computer is the extension of human senses, and wearable devices have reflected this in the past 5 years. Google Glass forefront in the use of eye and voice to search. This behavior is new and revolutionary. It requires people to say, look and listen to the surrounding environment through technology solutions.

The technique enhances virtual reality, when combined with wearable devices as well as smartphones, tablets, will soon open a portal to the world of knowledge fast and convenient way than current. It can even change the concept of selling places, both in person and online. Instead of having to search, login, purchase, cash or credit card to enter the code, AR may make the transaction becomes much simpler. You only need to use a telescope as Google Glass and purchase orders, is not faster or what? Information about user accounts and bank cards, the order will be processed right equipment. In other words, AR led to an era of e-commerce is extremely new, and we are only at the beginning of that period only.

The top technology companies are investing money and time into developing their own products AR. We've seen a ton of copyright related to virtual and augmented reality interface images registered by many different names, big small. Facebook recently acquired company Oculus VR virtual reality with $ 2 billion in order to realize the desired virtual space to carry people. Samsung, Sony, Apple did not succumb to the creative rights related to the virtual object is projected into real space for users to interact and find information.

In the context of wearable devices in general and in particular the AR products are available in the market gradually, and in the context of AR continues to grow as a mass media channel, consumers will adapt quickly This new technology solutions and business perspective, we have a market worth billions or tens of billions of dollars around the globe. Also in the data perspective, thanks to the popularity of the AR, we absolutely can build up a library of three-dimensional objects, a Wikipedia page dedicated to enhancing virtual reality.

Indeed, the enhanced virtual reality are also shown themselves to realize their potential. According to research by Research and Markets, there are about 60 million people were exposed to AR in 2013 and it has earned revenue of nearly half a billion dollars for the company. According to Juniper report, this market will exceed $ 1 billion by 2015.

By constantly interacting with the environment through intelligent algorithms, the search engines AR will learn how we describe and visualize objects in imaginative life. Did not we also saying that "A picture is worth a thousand words," which stars (translation: a picture is worth a thousand words in).

In the past year, we have recognized the power of information sharing through photos and video. That has radically changed the way we think about devices, applications and technology platforms. With the design and smart products, people will learn to provide for themselves the tools to seek and consume information in a most efficient way. Enhancing virtual reality will also play an extremely important role in these new forms of communication, and maybe in a few years from now, we will have an AR Wikipedia for what?
