How Augmented Reality Vision Systems Work

According to Piszczek, Zarzycki and Szustakowski (2012), AR vision systems should have following elements:

• Optoelectronic devices which automatically analyse the field of view similar way to the human eye.
• High definition cameras to capture images and videos.
• Sensors such as Accelerometer, compass & GPS
• Processors capable of handling multiple cameras, sensors and rendering real-time images.
• Display lenses for viewing.
• Software for data processing (Rendering Engine).
• Network connectivity

The below diagram explains how above elements are used in AR vision systems.
