Augmented Reality or mediated reality is a technology that allows users of mobile phones and tablets (android or iOS) to see and interact with objects that seem to be projected onto the real world in 3d.Projected objects are dynamically displayed on the user’s screen as though the tablet/mobile is a window through which the user is perceiving a mixed world of real and constructed images. User’s may also interact with the constructed images by “seemingly” touching the object and causing it to perform a desired action Augmented reality (AR) is a live, direct or indirect, view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented (or supplemented) by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data
Is augmented reality the same as virtual reality?
The differences between virtual and augmented reality is not often well defined. True virtual reality completely blocks out the real world whereas augmented reality adds to the already existing real world. Sometimes these forms that are somewhere between virtual and augmented reality are defined by other terms. For example, mixed reality is a mix of a digitized model of the real world combined with computer-generated models.
