OPLIN 4Cast #691: Augmented reality expands in new ways
October 21st, 2020

[image: Tablet with AR viewing an anatomical model] Remember what a
novelty Pokemon
Go <https://pokemongolive.com/en/> was in 2016? It introduced the world to
augmented reality as a working concept. AR (augmented reality) is the
overlaying of digital imagery on top of a view of the real world, most
often using one's cell phone. AR has come a long way since the early days
of catching Pikachu, and it's expanding in some major ways. After all, even
dogs can use AR now <https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-54465361>.

   - How to View Augmented Reality Experiences Hiding on Your Amazon Boxes

   [Lifehacker] "Amazon is changing its packaging to use less material, but
   it’s also adding quirky QR codes to its new boxes that let you scan and
   play with 3D models on your phone using Amazon’s AR Player app. "
   - Surgeons Use Augmented Reality In The Operating Room

   [NBC News] "This technology actually allows us to see the bony anatomy in
   real-time, in a 3-D model that we can see while we are placing the screws,
   improving our ability to safely place the screws in the patient's bones."
   - Forget AR glasses. Augmented reality is headed to your windshield
   <https://www.digitaltrends.com/features/envisics-ar-windshield-technology/>[Digital
   Trends] "A portable AR headset has to pack in a whole lot of advanced
   technology to a relatively compact form factor. That likely means
   underpowered (and underwhelming) AR experiences. A car, on the other hand,
   has plenty of room to fit the various sensor suites and processors needed."
   - Augmented Reality R&D Surges During Remote Learning
   <https://marketscale.com/industries/education-technology/augmented-reality-rd/>
   [Market Scale] "The initial launch of RALE will focus on first year
   Chemistry, Biology and Physics students from the Faculty of Science at
   Ryerson and enable over 5,000 students to participate in rich,
   collaborative AR enhanced learning experiences during the Fall and Winter
   Terms."
