Augmented reality: the augmented construct of communication

Pedro M. Azevedo Rocha

Resumo


Augmented reality (AR) is becoming more than a virtual simulating hyperreality of cognitive sensitivity of a life’s situation. It may be considered a type of nature transforming into a mediator of worlds, increasing the perception of reality in real time within the medium that surrounds us. Augmented reality makes use of some smartphone technology, in conjunction with camera, video and positioning system for information visualization superimposed into real image. Now with AR we see-through information in radiographic surfaces of reality, it is becoming transparent. Since 1985 the access to goggles and gloves that interacts with virtual reality established as the gateway to an experience of our senses that would go beyond our imagination. We literally were stuck through gloves to a world that could be seen with the aid of special glasses (Google Glass, Facebook Oculus VR, Microsoft HoloLens). With promise of design creativity several technological companies (Garmin, Atheer Labs, Space Glasses, Ydreams, Total Immersion, Metaio, Layar) invested in new instruments and applications that would mediate and serve the frontier between the real and the digital information world. Through AR we are reflecting our transcendence and communication, beyond Kant and Husserl, bodying it with a strange normality.
