India's First Augmented Reality Training Institute in Varanasi Uttar Pradesh
India will have its first augmented reality education and training institute, to be set up in Varanasi
Augmented reality is defined as a live direct or indirect view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are supplemented by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics etc.
This technology functions by enhancing one’s current perception of reality, whereas the virtual reality replaces the real world with a simulated one. Augmented reality is related to a more general concept called mediated reality, in which a view of reality is modified by a computer.
It will be a virtual manufacturing shop floor and provide students from diploma- to research-level hands-on training on high-value machines that are beyond the budgets of institutions.
The institution will be established by the central government in partnership with Eon Reality, an augmented reality company based in the US.
This is the next big thing in learning and practical training space and goes well with the Digital India initiative of the government.
Eon Reality will do a demo of the centre in Gujarat during the Vibrant Gujarat Summit and finally, come up in Varanasi.
It can dissect aeroplane engines and show how 3D designing works. It would be like apprentice learning on a shop floor.
