REALIDADE AUMENTADA: Apps que TRANSFORMAM a VIDA!
Today you will learn once and for all what augmented reality is and how you can use it to improve your life now. In this video, we're going to test five mobile apps that use augmented reality. But first of all, what is augmented reality? This is another episode of our SuperTech series, supported by Petrobras, showing some Super technology that will transform the world. So, augmented reality is, for example, This Instagram filter that I used at the beginning of the video playing with the Little dog ears. So, basically, it's a technology that takes the reality you're Seeing and puts something virtual on top of it, something that adds to that reality, Something that makes that reality bigger, richer, with more information… and that's why it's called augmented reality. We use this a lot on cell phones, on tablets, because they are devices that already Have a camera to look at reality and also have the ability to place these things on top. So, in reality, you already use it a lot, especially with those filters there that Fix our faces, which make us a little younger… But wait, that's not all. We're going to show you some apps here that are really cool, that surprise a little With the amount of knowledge they can show us about reality or even how useful they can be in everyday life. But first of all, a lot of people confuse augmented reality with virtual reality, Which in practice doesn't have much of a reality, it's practically all virtual, it's All created by a program that's showing you those things. Normally, in virtual reality, you need to wear glasses like these ones, and then you Can put yourself, for example, inside a fighting game where you're there fighting With someone, or on a beach, for example, lying down, seeing coconut trees and the sea in front of you… In this case, currently, I can't see absolutely anything because these glasses are Turned off and anyway… And there is still a third thing that is emerging now, But that in the future we will probably use it a lot, which is mixed reality, when You can place things from virtual reality, things that do not exist, in our reality. If you watched that movie Minority Report, for example, there's a guy who keeps Touching the screens, in some reports… those screens are virtually there, he manages To touch the screens with a special glove and everybody can see. For this to happen And make it easy for us to work, in fact, you need equipment that doesn't exist yet, But with the help of virtual reality glasses, you can, for example, have some things That work more or less like this. Let's start with the apps, then. There is one That I really like, which is super useful, which is Google Translate. It doesn't Just translate text you type, no. It can read reality and put it on top. It's a
Very cool application, let's see. I can put here from English to Portuguese, but I'll put detect languages. So, It will say what language it is and then we go to The camera. And then, you start filming around you the things that are happening. Look here, for example, we have this poster of the nervous system. Come on, I looked, automatically it's already telling me he's converting from English To Portuguese and, the craziest thing, it writes exactly on top of the place that is already there. Look here, a nervous system with a background that corresponds to what is there, that Is, it is invading reality as little as possible. So, you see a poster that is written in English and here I already see it written in Portuguese. Here, the final journey of the Space Shuttle Atlantis. Here look, new world map. Let's get a bigger text here. Look how nice it is. Let's see that defrosting board we tested the other day here, right? Reduces defrosting time, non-stick surface, defrosts fish, meat, anything frozen, Special aluminum tray, extracts the cold from frozen food in minutes. Defrost steaks in 25 minutes instead of an hour. We tested it, it's not exactly that, Right? To tell you the truth, we don't keep looking at the application on a poster Here in Manual do Mundo, we use it for real to translate manuals that arrive for Things that we buy from outside Brazil, mainly from China, which only comes with A manual in Chinese, you can't understand anything. Here, for example, is the manual For our light kit. Let's take a look if you can understand anythng with Google Translate. Look, turn on the power and turn on the switch on the lamp body, manual control, All right. You can read the manual as if it were in Portuguese. With all the information, The drawings are still there… that's pretty crazy. The second very cool application is one that simulates the vision of color blind people. Colorblind people have difficulty seeing some colors, so it shows how a colorblind Sees So here, for example, I'm going to simulate the type of color blindness that Pena, who works with us, has. He has trouble seeing red and green. So, let's see how Pena sees the submarine. In the top image, it's the image I see and below is what he would see. You can see that the red has turned into a weird kind of yellow. Let's see something green here. Yeah, Pena couldn't paint that submarine. He always complains to me that he can't tell red from green very well.
You can see here in the image below that, in fact, that strip where it says Ariranha Is very similar to the leaves that are in the background, which are green. For me, The difference is very clear, but for a colorblind person, not. The grass turns Like grayish brown, it looks like it's dead. Yes, Pena, now I understand why your Favorite color is blue. The blue I can see clearly here. But what is the use of such an application? Are you going to make fun of your friend who can't see red? Of course no. If you are going to design a graphic, a map, you are going to make a product label, A website and you want that to be super accessible for everyone, you put it here In this application and you can see how a color blind person would see it, if they Will be able to tell the difference between the subtitles, if they will understand The color scheme you are using. And it is logical that here in the application, You can open some photos that you already have and it compares what would be a normal Photo with the way that the color blind person sees it. But, yes, there is an app that does the opposite. If you have color blindness, it can name that color that you don't know if you're Seeing, that you don't know if it's green or red, for example. The app is called Color Blindness, then you aim where you want, it will tell you the color. For example, here at the pool, cobalt blue, blue… then it will give you several Names that sound like ink, which are variations of that color. But you can figure It out, let's see the submarine. Oh, here it is clear, variations of yellow, here Gray or white, blue… And the cool thing is that up here it already gives the RGB Code too, the code for that color if you need to use it in an application like Photoshop. The next app I used to build that sailboat from Manual do Mundo. It manages to measure things just by looking. For Android, we found one called ARuler. It's also for iOS, it's native to the phone. Look, it detects the surface. Let's measure this little wood here with the pliers. I just click on the two points, 47 cm. Is this accurate? Boy! 47.5. Let's measure the ruler which is easier. One meter from one end to the other. I'll put it right up there, come on… The cool thing is that you can move, get closer, go further… Perfect! When I reach a meter, it says a meter. It's very useful, is it? Let's combine! But
The application also works as a protractor, it can measure angles. So let's say I want to copy the angle of this toothpick lattice over here. It detects the surface, I change line to an angle. 52 degrees. Look here. Why did I use a thing like that to build a boat? I sailed in a boat that I thought was really cool and I wanted to copy some of its Proportions, understand some measurements, so I scanned the entire sailboat using My phone, knowing all the measurements there so that later I could reproduce this Manual do Mundo. As I didn't reproduce exactly, the sailboat didn't look like those things. Next app or the next apps are some that will revolutionize the way we know fashion, The way we buy clothes, sneakers, glasses and everything else. Because you can experience these things using augmented reality, so you don't have To go to the store to test it out, you take the store catalog at home, look at what You want and manage to buy it online. I'm going to do this here with glasses, okay? An app called Zeelool, I don't know exactly how to pronounce it, but anyway, it's A glasses store that's not in Brazil, it's not an advertisement for the store, but It gives us a clear understanding of what the idea of the thing is. Look how cool, How would I look… how cool, right? I didn't look cool in these glasses here, no. I'll try another one. These glasses here are not helping me to see how I change glasses underneath… Now yes. I didn't really like my look with these glasses here, but it's really cool if I could See it before buying the glasses, right? This one is cool, the day I use it again, I think I'll get one in this kind of… carnivalesque style. But you can also try sneakers. So there's an app called Wearfits Tryon, you can choose sneakers and it designs the sneakers here. It's not a very precise thing, but you get some idea of what you are looking at your own sneakers. It's pretty crazy here. If you see someone on the street doing something weird like I'm doing right now, you Know they're trying on sneakers on the app. Looking over it you know what you see the shoe, but you want to see how other people see you in that shoe. It has some glitches, doesn't it? But we also found an app where you can test tattoos. Unfortunately, it only works for iOS, but let's test it, because is fun.
First, you have to mark where you want the tattoo. It's a smiley. Look how nice it is! I like this rocket! Let's test one more. Cool, huh? Just look! I'm going to stop messing with this thing otherwise I'll have everything Scribbled down for good. And finally, my favorite app, which my daughter Helena Loves, and which I look at almost every night when I get home, which is Skyview, or Sky map. These two apps you can look at the sky, point to a star and it tells you which star It is. But it's much more than that. Look, what's in red here is the horizon line, okay? Where I should be seeing the horizon. Here are the stars that are in the sky, the brightest, you can already see the moon. If I click on the Moon, it will show where the Moon passed, at what time, so, it means That 1:40 pm I could already see the Moon in the sky, where it is now and what route it will take. So, I know, for example, that at 11 pm it will hide behind that house. And there are many other stars. For example, here is Venus. So Venus will also be Visible in the sky tonight, but it will disappear in a little while. If I enter The search, I can choose, for example, Solar System. It shows the visible planets And the ones that are gray means you can't see them now. The ones that are clearer here you can see. Mars, for example, oh. Here comes this little arrow here, and I find that Mars is in the sky right now. It also shows me the constellations… And the spectacular thing is that you get to see the International Space Station. You can see that it's not visible from where I am. Even the route it will take here at the end of the day is not visible, it is on the Other side of the planet. Anyone who is, I don't know, in Japan will be able to See the International Space Station. These stars it's showing on the ground are Stars that aren't visible from here, but are visible from somewhere on the planet. If you didn't know this app, it was worth a thumbs up. It wasn't worth it, was It? I've already shown you five apps, but there's a bonus for you. It's something That I thought was really cool for us to use here in the Manual do Mundo and that Has everything to do with Petrobras' use of augmented reality and virtual reality. When analyzing rocks, for example, technicians from Petrobras can use special glasses
That project important information about them onto the sample, and this speeds up the process a lot. In addition, Petrobras uses both augmented reality and virtual reality to train employees And even carry out inspections on platforms without leaving the continent. They can simulate, for example, working in a confined environment, a tight environment, Underwater with low visibility and all this with the safety of a virtual environment. So nobody's going to trip and fall and put their hand on something dangerous, but At the same time it's super integrated with physical reality. The app that I'm going to show you here doesn't do all that, but it's a nice thing Because people often put things in the wrong place here, or someone, when they ask Where something is, we have to explain "looking at the panel on the side on the right, There are two drills, they are on a piece of furniture that is on top of it"… So what does this app do? You can name things, virtual names, as if they were virtual labels. The name of the application is AR Label Maker, that is, an augmented reality label maker. Unfortunately, I also only found it for IOS, but I can show it working. So I'm going to scan what I have here. It's mapping the entire tool panel, so I can come here, for example, I want to remove This caliper from its place, but I want people to know where the caliper is. So, I come here, I write caliper, I put the label the way I want it here… Look how beautiful, it says virtual caliper over there. I can move it so the word remains where it is. So we come up here, where I was saying that it is on top of the drill, on the panel and such… Let's write! I mapped several things here on the panel and the coolest thing is, let's assume that Someone comes and takes a lot of things here. Take out the planer, take out the caliper, take out the saw blade… Then this person comes to the app, I can share this document with, and this person says "where do I put the saw blade?" "Oh, it's here!" Come on, it's okay to remove the object, it continues to identify that place. So where is the plane? Here is the space for the plane. Look how cool. What was missing? The caliper? We put the caliper here. It's a really cool way for you to put information in the environment without changing the environment.
One really cool thing is that these apps that I showed you, we can use at home, but They are limited to cell phones. You can only run on mobile. When we have other Screens running augmented reality, this could be much cooler. Imagine on the windshield Of your car, for example, you're driving on the road, run Google Maps there to get To the place. You don't have to look at that little screen on the side, the application Will project the information on the road. So, for example, you'll put an arrow pointing to the right, say "hey, you turn here", But that over the road, over the reality that already exists. When trying clothes, for example, you won't take a selfie here to see if you look Good in a suit or not, you'll stand in front of a mirror that will show you in that outfit. You move and the mirror responds just as it would if it were a normal mirror. Or to maintain equipment, for example, you have to know how to change a part of a Car, you put on a pair of glasses and it shows you step by step. "Take that screw out there, did you take the screw out? Now disconnect that piece And stuff." You don't need to memorize the step by step, it will show you everything. That's because I'm talking about a car, imagine a surgery, for example? And it Will get even crazier when you have a contact lens that you put on, nobody knows You're wearing it, you start to see the world in a completely different way, much Richer, much more full of information that other people don't are seeing. If you Ask me what our lives will be like when all this comes around, what will really change, I have no idea. Because if I had known, I would already be creating a startup to Take care of these things. But I'm sure of one thing, Petrobras will always use The most technological resources in this area to improve operations. So, keep an Eye on our SuperTech series, which has more cool technology that we're going to show You here, okay? If you missed the last episode, we talked a little about wearables, Which are clothes, smart watches that you can wear to change your day to day. We Even built an outfit for cyclists that can indicate. Sponsorship of Petrobras
