Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of AR technology, and in particular to a semi-automatic testing device and method for AR modules. Background Technology
[0002] Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that cleverly integrates virtual information with the real world. It widely utilizes multimedia, 3D modeling, real-time tracking and registration, intelligent interaction, and sensing technologies to simulate and apply computer-generated text, images, 3D models, music, videos, and other virtual information to the real world. The two types of information complement each other, thus "enhancing" the real world. With the continuous development of AR technology, it has shown broad application prospects. Currently, it has been applied in many fields such as digital entertainment, cultural education, medical diagnosis and treatment, industrial production, urban operation and maintenance, and e-commerce.
[0003] AR modules present virtual information to the human eye, which simultaneously collects information from the real world.
