ABSTRACT

Achieving a symbiotic blending between reality and virtuality is a dream that has been lying in the minds of many people for a long time. Advances in various domains constantly bring us closer to making that dream come true. Augmented reality as well as virtual reality are in fact trending terms and are expected to further progress in the years to come. This master's thesis aims to explore these areas and starts by defining necessary terms such as augmented reality (AR) or virtual reality (VR). Usual taxonomies to classify and compare the corresponding experiences are then discussed. In order to enable those applications, many technical challenges need to be tackled, such as accurate motion tracking with 6 degrees of freedom (positional and rotational), that is necessary for compelling experiences and to prevent user sickness. Additionally, augmented reality experiences typically rely on image processing to position the superimposed content. To do so, "paper" markers or features extracted from the environment are often employed. Both sets of techniques are explored and common solutions and algorithms are presented. After investigating those technical aspects, I carry out an objective comparison of the existing state-of-the-art and state-of-the-practice in those domains, and I discuss present and potential applications in these areas. As a practical validation, I present the results of an application that I have developed using Microsoft HoloLens, one of the more advanced affordable technologies for augmented reality that is available today. Based on the experience and lessons learned during this development, I discuss the limitations of current technologies and present some avenues of future research.

实验结果

研究问题

  • RQ1当前AR和VR系统如何实现空间感知和精确的运动追踪,特别是6-DoF追踪?
  • RQ2在实际AR应用中,基于视觉的追踪方法(如SLAM、模板标记和自然特征检测)的优势与劣势是什么?
  • RQ3微软HoloLens在实际AR应用开发中的表现如何?其关键技术与可用性局限性有哪些?
  • RQ4AR/VR可穿戴设备广泛普及的主要障碍是什么,包括社会接受度和硬件限制?
  • RQ5在实现无缝、无处不在的混合现实体验方面,哪些未来研究方向最具前景?

主要发现

  • HoloLens通过集成的空间映射和6-DoF追踪技术,能够实现引人入胜的空间感知AR体验,但其视场角和分辨率仍存在局限。
  • 基于SLAM和自然特征的视觉追踪技术可实现无标记AR,但在光照变化、纹理缺乏和运动模糊情况下仍易受影响。
  • 模板标记可提供可靠的追踪,但需要预设标记,限制了其在真实场景部署中的灵活性。
  • 当前AR/VR交互方式仅限于注视、语音和手势,缺乏对复杂意图识别和触觉反馈的稳健支持。
  • 由于隐私担忧以及当前可穿戴设备外观不吸引人,社会接受度仍是主要障碍。
  • 未来的AR/VR系统必须向自适应、多模态交互方式演进,并支持AR与VR模式之间的无缝切换,以实现无处不在的应用。
