Augmented Reality (AR)


Augmented Reality (AR)

Looking at a picture of an object is our smartphones that seems rising (like the pictures below) and able to be rotated three sixty degree is interesting , isn't it? To have this, it require a technology that is called as augmented reality (AR). 'augment' means to increase or to add to the existing reality.

AR basically a technology that superimposes an image that is generated from computer on the view of the real world, then producing a composite view. It is kind of an interactive digital experience of the real object that is being 'augmented'. AR is used in smartphones apps which employ the phone's camera in order to show the real world in front of us.


Image result for IKEA AR'If you ever heard or play POKEMON GO, you had actually came across the AR. AR is something like we give a life to a non-living object. The other famous example of AR application is the IKEA apps. By using this app, customers are able to select their desired furniture then try to fit it in their empty home spaces. The object really looks like real !!!After that, they can make decision whether to buy it or not, just through online purchases! 

My selected ZAPCODE
To design AR, we need to use a course-ware. Luckily, I have experienced constructing and applying a simple AR in my Physics Technology & Innovation class conducted by Dr NurulHuda. We go to zapworks in order to create our own AR, by using the free trial version. From here, we selected our zapcode from widget to be placed on the screen of our created AR version. The zapcode is basically works like QR code.

Meanwhile, at our smartphones, we have to download zappar from the apps store. The make everything works, we open zappar apps in our smartphones, then we scan the zapcode at our created AR, hence the objects/video that we have set up will rise on the screen of our phones.

It is very interesting although it is not that easy to create one 😁. I believe we can create a better version with further exploration at zapworks!
Thank you

Magnetic Field

Magnetic Field, B To define Magnetic field, we start with the word field. Field means a region or space. The magnetic field is defined as a region where the magnetic force can be felt. In other words, a force (repel/attract) can be felt in the region. Bar Magnet We will find that 2 North(N) poles will repel if we bring the poles of two bar magnets together. Same goes to that of 2 South(S) poles. However North and South pole attracts. The strength and direction of the field are represented by lines. Knowing that, the direction of magnetic field is from North to South. Magnetic field is able to be detected by 1) Compass (have been used over 2000 years 2) Hall Probe Applications: Swipe cards, Video tapes & Computer discs -use magnetism to store information. History: In 1819, Hans Christian Oersted noticed that a compass needle was deflected by an electric current in a nearby wire. Remember!! the compass is used to detect any existance of magnetic field.

Root Mean Square Current (I rms)

Root Mean Square Current As mentioned in the previous post , the value of AC is always changing. Then, how do we measure its value??? We could not use the maximum value of the current Io, because it only occurs at a moment. The average current is ZERO . Hence, one effective value that we could use the root mean square value. Irms . The formula for   Irms is given by: where Io is maximum current. Irms is the value that is equivalent to a steady direct current .  We can investigate this by comparing 2 circuits containing lamp each. circuit 1 uses battery as the source, while circuit 2 uses a.c. supply. AC supply is adjusted so that both lamps are equally bright. At this point, DC and AC supplies are transferring energy to the lamps at the same rate (Power).  By equating the Power of both circuits, we can deduce the equation of  Irms as above. Therefore, the d.c. voltage equals the r.m.s. value of the a.c. voltage.  From the the graph below and th...

Deformation of Solids

Deformation of Solids 💗  Solid is characterized by very packed particles and they are not free to move around within the substance. A solid can change its shape when pressure is applied to it. The forces applied to the solids will amend the position of the solid particles and its spacings. This will then changes the external structure or shape and size of the solid, which defines deformation of solids.   Stress  is the measure of the force required to cause solid deformation. A   strain  is the measure of the degree of deformation.  The strain is given as a fractional change in either the length, geometry or volume. It is a dimensionless number.  The greater the stress , the greater the strain . The proportionality constant in this relation is known as the   Young's modulus,Y  .                                    ...
