US Army researchers discover technique for using Augmented Reality to overcome bright lighting conditions
The US Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Army Research Laboratory has recently announced that its researchers have discovered a new technique for using augmented reality (AR) to overcome bright lighting conditions during the day by using low contrast dimming highlights – something that DEVCOM says will open up new research questions that will improve warfighter AR and heads-up display performance in outdoor operations.
The discovery could help pave the way towards enabling the use of AR by US warfighters in challenging environments including desert, snow, marine and dense urban settings. The approach also has applications for other display technologies such as image intensifiers, infrared and fused night vision displays and also has potential for laser eye protection, according to DEVCOM.
