Abstract:: Augmented reality (AR), combining virtual elements with the real world, has demonstrated impressive results in a variety of application fields and gained significant research attention in recent years due to its limitless potential. AR applications heavily rely on the ability to accurately understand the user’s surroundings as well as dynamically monitor the user’s interactions with their environment. While traditional AR relies on the precise localization of the user, nowadays, a deeper scene perception at multiple levels is expected, ranging from dense environment reconstruction and semantic understanding to hand–object interaction and action recognition. An advanced, efficient understanding of the surroundings is found in AR applications that enable a complete interaction between real and virtual elements and are able to monitor and reliably support users in real-world complex tasks, such as industrial maintenance or medical procedures.
