Ø      Performance Issues

 

§         Augmented reality systems are expected to run in real-time so that a user will be able to move about freely within the scene and see a properly rendered augmented image. This places two performance criteria on the system.

 

ü      Update rate for generating the augmenting image.

ü      Accuracy of the registration of the real and virtual image.

 

o       Need to render the virtual scene at least 10 times per second

o       Fortunately, there are many applications for augmented reality in which the virtual part is either not very complex or will not require a high level of photorealism.

o       Two possible cause for misregistration

·        Noise in the system

·        Time delays in the system
