With many rises and falls of 3D in cinemas I notice the same patterns in Augmented Reality stuff today. Don’t you?

I got a recommendation video on Youtube today about the constant rise and fall of 3D movies youtube.com/watch?v=KRruoenKmss (removed link, I don’t want it to be an ad). And how they eventually got their niche in amusement parks as a one-time wow-attraction.

I mean it’s not the first time AR is a hot topic. It’s been around since 80-s. Getting its ups and downs. And today it’s on the rise. But the latest news from MagicLeap and slow adoption rates might be indicators of an oncoming stagnation or downfall.

What are your thoughts?

Hi,

I have a problem with understanding interaction between real world and AR. I don’t even know, which things should I google to learn things associated with AR. I mean, I have used Unity + Vuforia, written basic app and had a lot of fun with it. But I cannot understand the way AR engine knows, how to place correctly 3D object in real space.

What things should the programmer know in order to write algorithm for placing 3D object on the table for instance? What should I google to understand how the engine judges, that object should be placed on that point with that certain position?
