Augmented reality is a live direct or indirect view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data.  It is related to a more general concept called mediated reality, in which a view of reality is modified by a computer. As a result, the technology functions by enhancing one’s current perception of reality. By contrast, virtual reality replaces the real world with a simulated one.

5. Augmented reality is a live direct or indirect view of a physical, real-
world environment whose elements are augmented by computer-
generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS
data. It is related to a more general concept called mediated reality, in
which a view of reality is modified by a computer. As a result, the
technology functions by enhancing one’s current perception of reality.
By contrast, virtual reality replaces the real world with a simulated
one.
Augmentation is conventionally in real-time and in semantic context
with environmental elements, such as sports scores on TV during a
match. With the help of advanced AR technology the information
about the surrounding real world of the user becomes interactive and
digitally manipulable. Artificial information about the environment and
its objects can be overlaid on the real world

6. Augmented reality (AR) is a live direct or indirect view of a
physical, real-world environment whose elements are
augmented (or supplemented) by computer-generated sensory
input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data. It is related
to a more general concept called mediated reality, in which a
view of reality is modified (possibly even diminished rather than
augmented) by a computer. As a result, the technology
functions by enhancing one’s current perception of reality.

8. Display of AR imaging on contact lenses are the basic concept. Its under
improvement and development by different multinational IT monsters.
These bionic contact lenses might contain the elements for display
embedded into the lens including integrated circuitry, LEDs and an
antenna for wireless communication. Another version of contact lenses,
in development for the U.S. Military, is designed to function with AR
spectacles, allowing soldiers to focus on close-to-the-eye AR images on
the spectacles and distant real world objects at the same time. At the
Augmented World Expo Conference, a futuristic video named Sight
featuring the potential of having augmented reality through contact
lenses received the best futuristic augmented reality video award.

9. In this lens concept, an antenna at the periphery collects incoming RF
energy from a separate portable transmitter. Power-conversion circuitry
provides DC power to other parts of the system and sends instructions to
the display control circuit. The display, at the center, might consist of LEDs,
which would turn on and off, or LCD-like elements, whose transparency
would be modulated by the control circuit. An energy-storage module,
perhaps a large capacitor, is connected to a solar cell, which could provide
a boost to the lens. A biosensor samples the surface of the cornea,
performs an analysis, and provides data to the telecommunication module
to transmit to an external computer.

11. These lenses have enormous potential in almost every aspect of our lives.
These lenses are straight out of the science fiction movies, just like Arnold
Schwarzenegger’s character in the Terminator movie, this could be our
future. This type of system is called Augmented Reality, or AR for short.
These lenses surf the web and deliver email right before your very eyes,
your interface would be a holographic monitor you use in mid air. The
holographic capabilities of these lenses alone have huge potential.
For example, you could try clothes on every morning with out getting
undressed you would just use the virtual screen to try clothes on yourself to
see what looks good. Video games would and could go to an entirely
different level of game play.
The holographic could display driving information such as speed and gas
levels all without your eyes ever leaving the road.

12. The lenses could help us stay healthy too. They could monitor our health
by linking to biosensors worn in the body or using biomarkers from your
eyes. For example, the lenses could monitor cholesterol, sodium,
potassium levels, blood sugar levels and other such potential variables.
They could tell you how many calories you are about to consume or
possibly what vital nutrients you are missing from your diet. Maybe even
tell you how your exercise regiment is going. The lenses could help
patients with glaucoma with built-in computer technology to monitor
pressure inside the eyes. Imagine a contact lens that can help the
hearing impaired by translating speech into captions in real-time, or
offering visual cues from a navigation system or possibly producing
graphics to move to the beat of music allowing the hearing impaired to
experience moods from music. the lenses could still be used for
correction of eyesight at the same time as well.

13. However, there is potential in the retail side of life as well. Imagine
walking down the street and admiring someone’s shirt, the possibility of
knowing where to buy the shirt and how much the shirt cost, is not far
fetched. You could also try clothes on without stepping into a dressing
room and know what the outfit would look like
Day To Day Life
We have reached a state where it is no longer a question if it will happen
because it is already there. Now it is rather the question of how quickly
we can set up a complete process and structure to support Augmented
Reality in the same way as we are doing it for the existing technical
documentation.
To get back to the original question: YES Augmented Reality is the future
of technical documentation because the market has the tools and will
demand the content for it.

14. Building the lenses was a challenge because materials that are safe for use
in the body, such as the flexible organic materials used in contact lenses, are
delicate. Manufacturing electrical circuits, however, involves inorganic
materials, scorching temperatures and toxic chemicals. Researchers built the
circuits from layers of metal only a few nanometers thick, about one
thousandth the width of a human hair, and constructed light-emitting diodes
one third of a millimeter across. They then sprinkled the grayish powder of
electrical components onto a sheet of flexible plastic. The shape of each tiny
component dictates which piece it can attach to, a micro-fabrication
technique known as self-assembly. Capillary forces — the same type of
forces that make water move up a plant’s roots, and that cause the edge of a
glass of water to curve upward — pull the pieces into position.
Even though the researchers have made giant leaps to
making this type of technology a reality, there is still a
long way to go. The device only works if it’s within
centimeters of the wireless battery and the microcircuit,
one-hundredth the width of a human hair, can’t quite
emit enough light. Solar powered lenses may be
