Artificial Intelligence vs Augmented Reality

Compare two different and Latest technologies as Artificial Intelligence vs Augmented Reality, requires good understanding of both technologies and their uses.

Artificial Intelligence: Technology in which machines are provided with capability of think like human, learn like human and act like human. Its technology to program the computer like human brain, used mostly in robots, games, special purpose software etc.

” Artificial intelligence (AI) is technology and a branch of computer science that studies and develops intelligent machines and software. ”  — Wkkipedia

Examples of some A.I applications:

  • Kismet Robot at MIT labs.
  • DARPA Without Driver Racing Car
  • Video Games e.g Far Cry, Hitman etc.

 

KISMET MIT

   

 

Augmented Reality: Technology in which user interact with real world as well as computer. User Interface is combination of software on screen and real world objects on screen.

“Augmented Reality is a live, direct or indirect, view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data.”  — Wikkipedia

 

Examples of some Augmented Reality apps are:

  • Google Glasses
  • Nokia AG Tower Defense game
  • Augmented Reality Map application

 

Google Glass: Google glasses are the perfect example of Augmented Reality use. User Interact with real world as well as software instructions on screen at same time they can see real-time data from the web including the names of objects, map directions, contact information ,social media activities, record high-definition video, voice commands while interacting with Real World through same glass screen.

Conclusion: By above little Overview, we can differentiate between both technologies.

  • Augmented Reality is used at Front Ends as User Interaction(UI) ,while Artificial Intelligence is used at Back Ends as Logic.
  • Augmented Reality helps to interact with world, Artificial Intelligence is responsible for decision making.
  • Hence we can say that Augmented Reality can use for collect data and Artificial Intelligence is used for process that data.  So both can use at same time for built completely advance applications.
