First Virtual Reality, Then Augmented Reality, Now 'Mediated Reality'

Description

Let's set the record straight. Virtual reality is when the real world doesn't show up in our field of vision and everything we see is the product of a computer. Augmented reality, like Google Glass, is when helpful images and text appear on a transparent surface while the real world makes up the majority of our field of view. And now there's mediated reality Mediated reality technology blurs the lines between the real and virtual worlds. Shenzhen-based tech company VisionerTech presented their own mediated reality goggles, which combine elements of both VR and AR, at the China Hi-Tech Fair in Shenzhen on Wednesday. The user can still see what's happening around him in the real world, but is still able to enjoy unreal, computer generated creatures and scenery, taking the best of both worlds.

Now You Can Fly Drones with Augmented Reality

Technology is moving at such a rapid pace that it can be quite hard to keep up with all the new inventions. Drone have become a mainstay in popular culture in the last few years, but some scientists and engineers from Russia's Voronezh State University may have just invented a new way to pilot them. This drone prototype is designed to be flown with the help of augmented reality glasses that allow the wearer to guide the motion of the quadcopter simply by looking in the direction that he or she wants the drone to go. The team began working on the product began seven years ago but have only now reached the point of testing out their prototype model. With the success of their prototype, the team is now working on improving usability and design, with the hope of exporting their product abroad.
