Description
SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) is a foundational technology in augmented reality that enables devices to understand their position and orientation in relation to the surrounding environment while simultaneously creating a map of the environment itself. Using sensor data like cameras, IMUs (Inertial Measurement Units), and depth sensors, SLAM algorithms enable AR devices to track their movement and location in real-time, even in unfamiliar or changing environments. SLAM is crucial for accurate placement of virtual objects and maintaining their stability as users move around. It finds applications in navigation, robotics, gaming, and various AR experiences, providing a seamless and immersive integration of digital content into the physical world.
