Abstract
While anticipated in Hollywood movies and sci-fi literature, a perfect artifical reality – i.e. the ultimate VR environment – will probably not become real within the next couple of years. However, using Augmented Reality (AR) technologies in order to seamlessly embed artificial content into the real environment, might be a much more feasible way to remove the clear border between reality and virtuality. In this paper we will look into lately developed AR technologies and how they relate to recent trends in movie and TV productions. We will further anticipate what this will mean to live broadcasts and which implications this might have for a widespread individual usage of sophisticated AR technology.
