A few hours later, he was done rehearsing his capstone project. A normal person would be rattled about the current visitors that Mordechai had. It was that, and he had to focus on his capstone presentation. He worked hard on it, and with the proper training and tools, he knew this would be an award-winning presentation. Someone leaked that his capstone would be technology-based. Most audience members were representatives from companies like Google, Facebook, Sony, Samsung, and even Nokia.
He was introduced and took the stage as everyone applauded. Mordechai tried not to gawk at the audience by only focusing on himself. Although he wouldn't mind having those three beautiful girls in the audience, he didn't have the time to search the crowd.
Then, after the applause died down, he started, "Good afternoon. My name is Dr. Mordechai Zane; I am a Yale University of Engineering graduate. I am here today to show you my capstone presentation and a true step in conducting our business and presenting our ideas to the world. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you augmented reality."
Then, the technicians started to hook up certain wires and cables to a laptop. One of the technicians fitted Mordechai with a headset as he was handed two controllers for each hand.
"Sometimes finding something on a computer while working on something very important can be challenging," Mordechai lectured. "It seems to me that year after year, we are getting closer to blending our actual confines of reality and integrating computer data. This technology has been here for decades but not as pushed further as we all have hoped. In one form or another, we usually blame time, technology limitations, and even money. Those three constraints are indeed factual."
Then the technicians turn on the machine. The large TV screen above Mordechai turned on, and the audience could see what he could see through his headset.
"No, that is not it! There's more!" Mordechai became a showman, and everyone laughed. "This is one part of its functionality: the world around us. Augmented reality is more than an interactive experience of a real-world environment where the objects or people in the real world are enhanced by computer-generated perceptual information. In some cases, multiple sensory modalities include visual, auditory, haptic, somatosensory, etc."

Mordechai then turned on the program that started taking pictures of people and taking their heights and weights.
"Augmented reality, or AR for short, can be defined as a system that incorporates three basic features: one feature is a combination of real and virtual worlds. The second feature is real-time interaction. The last feature is accurate 3D registration of virtual and real objects."
Mordechai then whistles and turns over to his left. He then sees a virtual dog run up to him, happily bouncing and barking. The audience even sees the display as they are impressed. Mordechai even pets the virtual dog as it positively reacts to the action.
While lecturing, he decides to play catch with a virtual dog, “this experience is seemly interwoven with the fig cycle world such as it is perceived as in numbers of aspect of the real environment. In this way, augmented reality alters one's ongoing perception of the real-world environment, whereas virtual reality completely replaces the user’s real-world environment with a simulated one.”
Then, he sets his fingers on the screen and turns white. Then, it displays them being at a park.
"This isn't some park. Yoyogi Park is a park in Yoyogikamizonocho, Shibuya, Tokyo, Japan, adjacent to Harajuku Station and Meiji Shrine,” Mordechai presents as everyone is amazed.
Positively, everyone applauded. The happy virtual dog wasted no time swimming in the lake.
"My virtual dog loves the water," Mordechai jokes as everyone laughs. "This is special since augmented reality is related to two largely synonymous terms: mixed reality and computer-mediated reality. The primary value of augmented reality is how components of the digital world blend into a person's perception of the real world, not as a simple display of data but through the integration of immersive sensations. We, of course, received this as a natural part of an environment."
Mordechai snaps his fingers and is immediately transported to a basketball court. He then was thrown a basketball. Instinctively, he caught it in and started dribbling the ball. He looked up to see the hoop and successfully shot the basketball. This got an around of applause.
Shooting some hoops, Mordechai continued, "Augmented reality is used to enhance natural environments or situations and other perceptually enriched experiences, just like what I'm doing here. Before, I couldn't shoot a basketball in real life, and I couldn't have time to play since I was too busy working. But with the system I built, the house can shoot better than Lebron James."
Everyone laughed at that joke; they applauded.
“With the help of advanced AR technologies such as adding computer vision, incorporating AR cameras into smartphone applications in the future, and object recognition, the information about the surrounding real-world of the user will become more interactive and individually manipulated.”
