Assisted reality (sometimes referred to as assisted Reality or aR) is a form of technology that projects information on a screen into the user’s field of vision. Assisted reality may be included in discussions of the fourth industrial revolution (or Industry 4.0) which touches upon the Internet of Things (IoT), virtual reality (VR), augmented reality (AR) and so on.

= What is assisted reality? =

Assisted reality does not change what the user sees; it only enhances the experience. Since it is a hands free technology, aR is intended to create an instructive interaction that might be safer for the user in certain environments or situations.

The additional information may appear in a screen (or virtual display device) that is located next to the actual object. It can also come up in the peripheral vision of a user who is wearing assisted reality glasses.

Assisted reality can be experienced through the use of smart glasses, headsets with mini-displays or other types of wearable devices. These devices are fairly comfortable to wear and have a reasonable battery life. They are also relatively affordable and are thought to be fairly easy to load with data that does not require special formatting.

= Different types of reality enhancing technology =

Assisted reality is unlike virtual reality (VR), which is a simulated environment in which an interactive computer-generated user experience can take place. It typically uses VR headsets or multi-projected environments as a means of generating images, sounds and sensations that can simulate a real environment that a user can observe or interact with.

Assisted reality is also unlike augmented reality, which is a live direct or indirect view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented (or supplemented) by virtual computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data. AR is a blend of the real environment with the virtual in which the former is enhanced in some way by the latter.

With augmented reality, the additional information is projected directly over the real world subject, whereas, with assisted reality, the information is projected directed in the user’s immediate field of view in a manner that is separate from the real world subject, producing a greater distinction between the reality and the enhancements. With assisted reality, the digital experience is secondary to the real experience.
