Augmented Reality and Artificial Intelligence Interactions

Undoubtedly, if there is a combination of technologies that will set the trends for the next few years, it is the combination of theArtificial Intelligence and the Augmented Reality. Both are disruptive technologies that are leading the way in the major changes in user experience and interaction. In this article we will explore how Augmented Reality (AR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are intertwining, creating an exciting future for interaction. man-machine.

Before learning about how these complementary technologies are transforming the current and future technology ecosystem, it is time to review what they consist of exactly Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Reality.

What is Augmented Reality?

The Augmented Reality (AR), is the technology that combines the real world with the digital world. superimposing virtual elements on reality itself. Thanks to this immersive technology, the real and virtual environments are intermingled, creating interactive experiences accessible from several devices at the same time: from cell phones and tablets to Augmented Reality glasses. Augmented Reality broadens our perception of the environment, enriching reality with digital content.

What is Artificial Intelligence?

Artificial Intelligence is understood as the capacity of machines to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence. Tasks such as learning, decision making and pattern recognition.

These are a combination of algorithms and machine learning models that seek to act and/or think like human beings. Its applications in the business world have great potential to speed up and deepen data analysis and content personalization.

Main advantages of Augmented Reality and Artificial Intelligence integration

The union of Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Reality represents a revolution in user experience. Definitively changing the human-machine interaction. By not only being able to superimpose digital elements reality, but being able to interact with them and modify them in real time. Opening up a new range of possibilities for the personalization of experiences at the creative, industrial, business and educational levels.

The following is an analysis of the main advantages of the combination of Augmented Reality (AR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI).

 

Improved productivity

The synergy between Artificial Intelligence and Augmented Reality has led to increased productivity, especially in the business and industrial environment. The combination of these technologies within the processes of industrial companies represents a revolution in the controlthe training and the efficiency of increasingly complex production processes. When combined with sensors and the latest innovations of the Internet of Things (IoT), the machines y operators are interconnected. Going from simply operating the machine to being able to communicate with it. You can also change parameters, ask the AI for recommendations and see the results of the improvements in real time and on the machine itself (notifications, hazards, data).

 

New creative possibilities

Augmented Reality reaches its full potential when combined with Artificial Intelligence. Thanks to the union of both technologies AR experiences can encompass many more interactive experiences. Interactive maps, overlaying information about restaurants and monuments, real-time translations, immersive outdoor advertising... all visible through mobile devices or future Mixed Reality glasses.

 

Increased data generation

Artificial Intelligence enables the Augmented Reality experience to become much more personalizedand, above all, that the user can interact in a much more intuitive way with all content. Interactions that also offer a large amount of data that allow not only to adapt the overlapping content in real time, but also to collect valuable information about the user behaviors and preferences.

Applications of Artificial Intelligence in Augmented Reality

Beyond the productivity improvements and boost in creativity of Augmented Reality experiences, the Artificial Intelligence applied to AR development enables new options both technically and in terms of user experience. The following are some of the main applications.

 

Improved spatial analysis, tracking and object recognition

The Artificial Intelligence (AI) plays a very important role in the accurate real-time identification and tracking of the objects, both real and virtual, that we can see in Augmented Reality experiences. Thus, AI allows to improve the ability of Augmented Reality to interact and overlay virtual content accurately in the real environment. In addition to being able to study and predict the movements and change of parameters necessary to make the overlay is much more realistic and natural.

 

Real-time content creation

Artificial Intelligence is capable of generate virtual content in an automated waysuperimposing 3D models, animations and visual effects on reality that can be changed with just a single click. voice request. All thanks to the incorporation of the Natural Language Processing (NLP)through which Artificial Intelligence interprets the user's spoken or written language. Offering a more natural, intuitive and contextualized interaction. In addition to offering the user the opportunity to adapt the Augmented Reality experience to their own interests.

 

Machine Translation

One of the most useful applications of the marriage between Augmented Reality and Artificial Intelligence is the ability to translate and interpret texts or speech in real time. Where through mobile devices and/or Augmented Reality glasses, the user is able to be able to view the translations and subtitles in real time or even listen to the translation. Going a step beyond current automatic translations.

 

Personalization of the experience

All these applications can be summed up in a single one: the personalization of experiences Augmented Reality thanks to the implementation of Artificial Intelligence tools. AI collects and segments the user preferences and behaviors to tailor the Augmented Reality experience to individual needs and preferences. This includes everything from customization of the information displayed in the AR experience, up to content in training courses, interactive games and outdoor advertising with Augmented Reality technology.

Virtual Reality and Artificial Intelligence

In addition to Augmented Reality, there is another Extended Reality technology that also benefits from the implementation of Artificial Intelligence in its developments. This is the Virtual Reality (VR).

The combination of Virtual Reality and Artificial Intelligence empowers the ability to create much more immersive, interactive and personalized experiences. Where all game/experience parameters change in real time by attending to the user's movements and behaviors, opening up a much wider range of possibilities. This makes it possible to create Virtual Reality training courses (Virtual Training) more adapted and dynamic, more open and entertaining games and much more realistic and customized simulations at the highest level of detail.
