Medal with Augmented Reality technology. How does it work?

Augmented reality (AR) is a technology that integrates virtual content within a real-world scene using cameras, allowing digital elements to be superimposed over the physical environment. The key components that enable AR include cameras, sensors, computing power and artificial intelligence (AI).

How Augmented Reality works

1. Image Capture: Device cameras capture images of the real environment.
2. Data processing: Sensors and AI process the captured data, identifying reference points and surfaces to position virtual elements.
3. Virtual Content Rendering: AR software renders virtual elements such as 3D animations, graphics, and information by overlaying them on the real-world image captured by the camera.
4. Real-Time Display: Virtual content is displayed in real time on the device screen, creating an immersive experience that combines the physical and digital worlds.

AR offers personalized and immersive learning experiences, with a growing variety of applications that are constantly improving. Some examples include gaming, industrial monitoring, architecture, and healthcare.

Demand for AR is growing, with the global AR market projected to expand at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 40.9% between 2022 and 2030. Retailers are among the sectors leveraging AR the most, such as app from IKEA to view furniture and the Coral Tintas app to test color combinations.
