Abbreviated as AR,
Augmented Reality
is a type of
virtual reality that aims to
duplicate the world's environment in a
computer. An
augmented reality system generates a composite view for the user that is the
combination of the real scene viewed by the user and a virtual scene generated
by the computer that augments the scene with additional information. The virtual
scene generated by the computer is designed to enhance the user's sensory
perception of the virtual world they are seeing or interacting with. The goal of
Augmented Reality is to create a system in which the user cannot tell the
difference between the real world and the virtual augmentation of it. Today
Augmented Reality is used in entertainment, military training, engineering
design, robotics, manufacturing and other industries.
