Abstract:
A virtual content provision apparatus and method for augmenting usability of a real object. The virtual content provision apparatus includes a real object information acquisition unit for acquiring real object information corresponding to a real object through an input module, a virtual content search unit for searching for any one piece of virtual content based on the real object information, a virtual interface projection unit for projecting a virtual interface corresponding to the virtual content onto the real object through an output module, a user input detection unit for detecting user input on the virtual interface based on the input module, and a virtual content provision unit for, when the user input is detected, extracting virtual information related to the user input based on the virtual content, and projecting and providing the virtual information to correspond to the real object information through the output module.
