AR technology is helping China solve smog problems

Since December 16th, China has experienced a large-scale continuous heavy air pollution. The PM2.5 index has frequently “exploded the table”. The PM2.5 and PM10 of the “Century Park” monitoring points in Shijiazhuang City once broke through 1000 μg/cube. Meter. On the 21st, the smog staged "the last madness" in many places across the country. Among them, the air quality in most parts of Beijing fell to the level of heavy pollution.

Affected by smog, traffic accidents with varying degrees of casualties occurred in many places.

Without a little precaution, the smog has made people in the north central region of China wear masks that violate the principle of breathing. In the American drama "Prison Break", the prison guard described the firmness of the prison: The prisoners here can't do anything but breathe. It can be seen how inhumane if even breathing is restricted.

Some netizens joked that people are inherently dead, or poisoned to smog, or killed on the road.

On December 22nd, the north wind came and the haze finally eased. This has always played a cold and stern role in literary works, and now it has become a savior and is expected by all.

Since the Chinese people first discovered the smog in 2004, the Zodiac has been rounded. Of course, in the past 12 years, the government has been persistent in the work of flood control and prevention. However, the complexity of the smog and the changing causes are destined to be a protracted war.

Imagine that if the visibility is less than 30 meters or even less than 10 meters, if you can see what the fog covers, it will solve the problem of people's travel safety to a large extent.

It seems a bit unbelievable to improve the visibility of smog.

In the dark night of reaching out, with a special kind of glasses, you can clearly see the front. Such a picture seems to exist only in some science fiction movies.

The so-called science fiction is actually the meaning of scientific fantasy. A lot of scientific and technological achievements are originated from people's brains and fantasy.

In 2016, China has made breakthroughs in the field of high-tech research. Among them, the strongest augmented reality (AR) technology is one of the important technologies that are regarded as solving the problem of haze travel.

Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that calculates the position and angle of camera images in real time and adds corresponding images, videos, and 3D models. The goal of this technology is to put the virtual world on the screen. The real world and interact.

From a conceptual perspective, we can roughly understand that AR technology can project some virtual things on the basis of the real world, and these virtual things themselves are invisible to the naked eye. AR puts those that we can't see. Things appear to achieve the effect of guidance and prediction.

Imagine driving in a foggy weather with visibility below 20 meters, while the AR glasses in front of us directly project the road information 100 meters ahead. Then will there be a traffic accident?

Of course, this kind of scientific and technological achievements is currently only a small series of ideas from the perspective of AR technology. From the current AR products in China, I believe that this brain hole is not far from the actual application, because AR applications for solving haze have emerged.

In the most smoggy area of ​​Hebei, there is a technology company that developed a special monitoring system for environmental monitoring based on “AR augmented reality” and “sensor enhancement”. The real-time image is integrated into the reading of external professional sensors, using AR augmented reality technology. The environmental protection department can intuitively understand the operation status of the enterprise, such as: whether the boiler is running, the pollution discharge index, setting the threshold out of range and timely warning, and fundamentally solving the monitoring problem of the enterprise.

It can be seen that the AR technology fundamentally shows the data information that we can't see.

Of course, AR technology is widely used, not only for environmental protection, but also for education, medical, tourism, advertising and other industries. For example, the first stock of the new three board AR Mo Aike, is to integrate AR technology into children's English textbooks, and got a very good response; like the Nintendo AR mobile game Pokemon GO, once launched, it will be popular all over the world.

We look forward to AR technology to help us solve more smog problems as soon as possible, and we look forward to the day when smog can be completely cured, and we are a beautiful world of blue sky and white clouds.
