Abstract:
Increased reality computer is an emerging field, which is progressing sharply. Its principle is to mix the real world with the virtual world. The real corresponds to concrete scenes related to a specific environment, whereas the virtual corresponds to synthetic scenes constructed by the computer with no real existence. It tries to encourage the user to interact with the real scene as if the virtual objects added are there for real. The augmented reality then aims at increasing our perception of the real world by adding virtual objects. It helps the user to execute new tasks in the real world in an innovative way. Therefore, to look realistic, the virtual objects must be properly aligned with real-world objects. In this work we have presented a system of augmented reality without markers. To achieve this augmentation, we have used the hand of the user. The system then has to identify it to ensure the realization of the augmentation.
