Sound Augmented Reality (AR)
Developing Novel AR Experience Through Location-Based Audio Content Distribution
We envision a new field of reality augmentation through auditory sense. Traditional AR is more focused on exploring computer-generated graphics annotation of the real-world. This often requires users' full visual attention, thus pose safety risks in mobile interaction. In contrast, Auditory AR has the potential to be used in less attention demanding scenarios. When combined with the vast visual information of the real-world, location-based audio content augmentation will stimulate human senses' imagination to obtain richer experience.
About Web AR
DG Lab is promoting R&D in Web AR, an AR system on a web browser. Users can easily experience AR by simply accessing the designated URL in a web browser without installing dedicated applications, making it easy to share AR experiences and reach wider audience.
