Augmented Reality on Smartphones

• Text práce 11 MB
• Posudek oponenta 128 kB
• Hodnocení vedoucího 123 kB

Student nejprve prezentoval výsledky, kterých dosáhl v rámci své práce. Komise se poté seznámila s hodnocením vedoucího a posudkem oponenta práce. Student následně odpověděl na otázky oponenta a na další otázky přítomných. Komise se na základě posudku oponenta, hodnocení vedoucího, přednesené prezentace a odpovědí studenta na položené otázky rozhodla práci hodnotit stupněm "C".

1. What are the characteristics of Augmented Reality and what differentiates AR from VR? Student should refer to Azuma (1997, p. 2) and state that in VR a physical environment is not present. Therefore, time can, for example, be slowed down or sped up whereas AR is always bound to real-time.
2. Would your mobile application be classified as AR or VR and what are the reasons for the classification? Student should be able to address that his application is in fact more a VR application and in detail could be classified as "handheld video see-through augmented reality". If used with Cardboard and head-mounted, it would be a pure VR application because physical reality is blocked out entirely and only a rendered scene can be perceived.
3. On what findings was the decision for the Wikitude SDK based? Student should list convincing advantages in comparison to Layar.
4. What could be possible methods to overcome the currently non-photorealistic rendering of the 3D-building in the application? Are there any possibilities to reduce performance requirements? Student should state that aside from performance boost through hardware and raytracing there are possibilities like texture baking where photorealistic textures and shading could be pre-calculated on the 3D-model before importing. Furthermore, the usage of a 3D-engine like Unity3D or Unreal could be used as they are optimized for real-time rendering and provide mobile shaders that approximate realism.
