With computing and sensing weaved into the fabric of everyday life, comes the era when we are awash in a flood of data. Augmented reality (AR) is able to collect a tremendous amount of data from the real world and display it in a very natural manner. It enables us to blend information from our senses and digitalised world to myriad ways that were not possible before. Users are allowed to interact with information without getting distracted from real world, and also be able to collect and analyze the growing torrent of big data about user engagement metrics within our personal mobile and wearable devices. It is mutual beneficial to combine augmented reality and big data together. Augmented reality provides a novel way to visualize and render big data. On the other side, big data offers rich information for augmented reality to breed new applications such as personalized recommendation and augmented driving. In this talk, we explore the potential to capture value from the integration of augmented reality and big data, following with several challenges that must be addressed to fully realize this potential and several applications that we have developed in the HKUST-DT System and Media Lab.
