Abstract

---

There is no doubt that augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) have the potential to become a fascinating widespread technology not only in computer graphics but also in many other subjects. In about two decades, AR or in general, mixed reality (MR) has turned into one of the most attractive topics in computer graphics with many researchers attempting to obtain satisfactory results. Realism and robust AR system is the open issue yet. In this speech author is going to reveal what he has done so far in realism, robustness and interaction of AR systems and discuss the possibility directions toward this enhancement. Moreover, interaction between real and virtual objects will be discussed in details. At the end some points will be highlighted to enhance current research using new technologies towards our publications.
