Augmented Reality Technologies and Prospects for their Global Application within the Framework of the Geo-Oriented XR-Internet Concept
Abstract
The article examines the pace of development of modern IT technologies of extended reality and their application in various fields. The purpose of the article is to review modern and promising technologies from the point of view of the possibility of creating a global distributed network of extended reality. The history of the formation of existing extended reality paradigms is described. The article also analyzes the main information resources that provide information about the prospects for the development of mobile processors, graphics chips and mobile communications, which are necessary to create dynamic systems using extended reality technologies. The vision and requirements for organizing work with extended reality objects are described. Also, the topic of linking virtual objects to objects and coordinates of the real world is touched on. The main areas of application of extended reality and companies that develop or implement these technologies are described. It is suggested that these technologies can form the basis for a new stage of human-machine interaction. This will allow humanity to receive information from the external information environment faster and with better quality, as well as communicate with it without special equipment in a more intuitive format. The article describes options for using the proposed technology, for example, the integration of Internet of Things devices into the meta-space for controlling equipment.
