Augmented Reality
Augmented reality (AR), also known as mixed reality (MR), is a technology that overlays real-time 3D computer graphics, 3D-rendered computer graphics onto a portion of the real world through a display, such as a handheld device or head-mounted display. This experience is seamlessly interwoven with the physical world such that it is perceived as an immersion (virtual reality), immersive aspect of the real environment. In this way, augmented reality alters one's ongoing perception of a real-world environment, compared to virtual reality, which aims to completely replace the user's real-world environment with a simulated one. Augmented reality is typically visual, but can span multiple sensory Modality (human–computer interaction), modalities, including Hearing, auditory, haptic perception, haptic, and Somatosensory system, somatosensory. The primary value of augmented reality is the manner in which components of a digital world blend into a person's perception of the real world, ...

Augmentation (geometry)
In geometry, a Johnson solid, sometimes also known as a Johnson–Zalgaller solid, is a convex polyhedron whose faces are regular polygons. They are sometimes defined to exclude the uniform polyhedrons. There are ninety-two solids with such a property: the first solids are the pyramids, cupolas, and a rotunda; some of the solids may be constructed by attaching with those previous solids, whereas others may not. Definition and background A Johnson solid is a convex polyhedron whose faces are all regular polygons. The convex polyhedron means as bounded intersections of finitely many half-spaces, or as the convex hull of finitely many points. Although there is no restriction that any given regular polygon cannot be a face of a Johnson solid, some authors required that Johnson solids are not uniform. This means that a Johnson solid is not a Platonic solid, Archimedean solid, prism, or antiprism. A convex polyhedron in which all faces are nearly regular, but some are not pr ...

Augmentation (music)
In Western music and music theory, augmentation (from Late Latin ''augmentare'', to increase) is the lengthening of a note or the widening of an interval. Augmentation is a compositional device where a melody, theme or motif is presented in longer note-values than were previously used. Augmentation is also the term for the proportional lengthening of the value of individual note-shapes in older notation by coloration, by use of a sign of proportion, or by a notational symbol such as the modern dot. A major or perfect interval that is widened by a chromatic semitone is an augmented interval, and the process may be called augmentation. Augmentation in composition A melody or series of notes is ''augmented'' if the lengths of the notes are prolonged; augmentation is thus the opposite of diminution, where note values are shortened. A melody originally consisting of four quavers (eighth notes) for example, is augmented if it later appears with four crotchets ( quarter notes) instead ...

Augmented Matrix
In linear algebra, an augmented matrix (A \vert B) is a k \times (n+1) matrix obtained by appending a k-dimensional column vector B, on the right, as a further column to a k \times n-dimensional matrix A. This is usually done for the purpose of performing the same elementary row operations on the augmented matrix (A \vert B) as is done on the original one A when solving a system of linear equations by Gaussian elimination. For example, given the matrices A and column vector B, where A = \begin 1 & 3 & 2 \\ 2 & 0 & 1 \\ 5 & 2 & 2 \end , \quad B = \begin 4 \\ 3 \\ 1 \end, the augmented matrix (A \vert B) is (A, B) = \left begin 1 & 3 & 2 & 4 \\ 2 & 0 & 1 & 3 \\ 5 & 2 & 2 & 1 \end\right For a given number n of unknowns, the number of solutions to a system of k linear equations depends only on the rank of the matrix of coefficients A representing the system and the rank of the corresponding augmented matrix (A \vert B) where the ...

Augment (app)
Augment is an augmented reality SaaS platform that allows users to visualize their products in 3D in real environment and in real-time through tablets or smartphones. The software can be used for retail, e-commerce, architecture, and other purposes. Augment created a mobile app of the same name, used to visualize 3D models in augmented reality and a web application called Augment Manager for 3D content management. The company is based in Paris, France, and was founded in October 2011 by Jean-François Chianetta, Cyril Champier, and Mickaël Jordan. In March 2016, Augment announced €3 million in its series-A round from Salesforce Ventures, which bringing the total funding since launch to $4.7 million. Augment lets businesses and 3D professionals visualize projects in their actual size and environment, on iPhone, iPad, and Android, using the power of augmented reality.

Augmented Cognition
Augmented cognition is an interdisciplinary area of psychology and engineering, attracting researchers from the more traditional fields of human-computer interaction, psychology, ergonomics and neuroscience. Augmented cognition research generally focuses on tasks and environments where human–computer interaction and User interface, interfaces already exist. Developers, leveraging the tools and findings of neuroscience, aim to develop applications which capture the human user's Mental state, cognitive state in order to drive real-time computer systems. In doing so, these systems are able to provide operational data specifically targeted for the user in a given context. Three major areas of research in the field are: Cognitive State Assessment (CSA), Mitigation Strategies (MS), and Robust Controllers (RC). A subfield of the science, Augmented Social Cognition, endeavours to enhance the "ability of a group of people to remember, think, and reason." History In 1962 Douglas C. Engelb ...

Deus Ex
''Deus Ex'' is a series of cyberpunk role-playing video games, set during the mid 21st century. Focusing on the conflict between secretive factions who wish to control the world by proxy, and the effects of transhumanistic attitudes and technologies in a dystopian near-future setting, the series also includes references to real-world conspiracy theories, historical mythologies and philosophies, and provides a commentary on capitalist values and division in society. The first two games in the series were developed by Ion Storm, and subsequent entries were developed by Eidos-Montréal, following Ion Storm's closure. The Ion Storm games were published by Eidos Interactive, and all Eidos-Montréal media was published by Square Enix until 2022, when ownership was sold to Embracer Group. The series consists of six games: '' Deus Ex'' (2000), '' Deus Ex: Invisible War'' (2003), '' Deus Ex: Human Revolution'' (2011), '' Deus Ex: The Fall'' (2013), '' Deus Ex Go'' (2016) and '' D ...

Breast Augmentation
In medicine, breast augmentation and augmentation mammoplasty are terms that describe a cosmetic surgery procedure that uses either a Breast implant, breast implant or a fat-graft to realise a mammoplasty to increase the size, change the shape, or alter the texture of the breasts, either as a cosmetic procedure or as correction of congenital defects of the breasts and the chest wall. To augment the breast hemisphere, a breast implant filled with either saline (medicine), saline solution or a silicone gel creates a sphere, spherical augmentation. The fat-graft transfer augments the size and corrects contour defects of the breast hemisphere with grafts of the Adipose tissue, adipocyte fat tissue, drawn from the body of the woman. In a breast reconstruction procedure, a Tissue expansion, tissue expander (a temporary breast implant device) is emplaced and filled with saline solution to shape and enlarge the implant pocket to receive and accommodate the breast-implant prosthesis. ...

Augment (Tymshare)
NLS (oN-Line System) was a revolutionary computer collaboration system developed in the 1960s. It was designed by Douglas Engelbart and implemented by researchers at the Augmentation Research Center (ARC) at the SRI International, Stanford Research Institute (SRI). It was the first computer system to employ the practical use of hypertext links, a computer mouse, raster scan, raster-scan computer monitor, video monitors, information organized by relevance, GUI, screen windowing, presentation programs, and other modern computing concepts. It was funded by ARPA (the predecessor to DARPA, Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency), NASA, and the United States Air Force, US Air Force. The NLS was demonstrated in "The Mother of All Demos". Development Douglas Engelbart developed his concepts while supported by the US Air Force from 1959 to 1960 and published a framework in 1962. The strange acronym, NLS (rather than OLS), was an artifact of the evolution of the system. Engelbart's f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Augmentation Ideal
In algebra, an augmentation ideal is an ideal that can be defined in any group ring. If ''G'' is a group and ''R'' a commutative ring, there is a ring homomorphism \varepsilon, called the augmentation map, from the group ring R /math> to R, defined by taking a (finiteWhen constructing , we restrict to only finite (formal) sums) sum \sum r_i g_i to \sum r_i. (Here r_i\in R and g_i\in G.) In less formal terms, \varepsilon(g)=1_R for any element g\in G, \varepsilon(rg)=r for any elements r\in R and g\in G, and \varepsilon is then extended to a homomorphism of ''R''- modules in the obvious way. The augmentation ideal is the kernel of \varepsilon and is therefore a two-sided ideal in ''R'' 'G'' is generated by the differences g - g' of group elements. Equivalently, it is also generated by \, which is a basis as a free ''R''-module. For ''R'' and ''G'' as above, the group ring ''R'' 'G''is an example of an ''augmented'' ''R''-algebra. Such an algebra comes equipped with a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Augmentation (heraldry)
In heraldry, an augmentation (often termed augmentation of honour or sometimes augmentation of arms) is a modification or addition to a coat of arms, typically given by a monarch as either a mere mark of favour, or a reward or recognition for some meritorious act. The grants of entire new coats by monarchs as a reward are not augmentations, but rather grants of arms, and (in theory) an augmentation mistakenly given to someone who did not have a right to a coat would be nugatory. Augmentations could be of any kind: an ordinary, a charge, or a partition of the field. Most often it involves a chief or a canton, which contains a part or the entirety of the arms of the sovereign, which he concedes to a loyal vassal. Not all modifications to a coat of arms are augmentations of honour. Brisures, for example, are for the cadet lines of the dynasty, which are made by adding a label, bend, bordure, etc. A common case of augmentations of honour are French cities having in their a ...
