What is Augmented Reality (AR)

1.

The technology that supplements (combines) the real world with virtual objects (computer-generated) that appear to coexist in the same space as the real world. The virtual scene or ambience generated by the computer is designed to enhance the user’s sensory perception of the world that they are seeing or interacting with.

2.

A type of Virtual Reality that uses different interfaces (sometimes wearable) in order to superimpose an interactive simulated 3D environment on a view of the surrounding physical environment. Learn more in: Evaluating the Use of Virtual Reality and Multimedia Applications for Presenting the Past

Augmented reality (AR) is a term for a live direct or an indirect view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented by computer-generated sensory input, such as sound or graphics. It is related to a more general concept called mediated reality, in which a view of reality is modified (possibly even diminished rather than augmented), by a computer.

Computer-generated information overlaid onto the real world through a device, usually a cell phone or other AR device like Google Glass. Learn more in: Augmenting Education: Using Augmented Reality Technologies to Enhance Teaching and Learning

The term augmented reality was thought to be coined in the early nineties by Thomas Caudell, at the time senior principal scientist at the computer services division of Boeing. The verb augment refers to the action of adding to something in order to make it more substantial. It derives from the Latin augere meaning 'to increase'. The computer science world’s definition of augmented reality (AR) is: the interaction of superimposed graphics, audio and other sense enhancements over a real-world environment that’s displayed in real-time. It is related to a more general concept called mediated reality. In fundamental terms, the expression refers to a simple combination of real and virtual (computer-generated) worlds. Given a real subject, captured on video or camera, the technology 'augments' (= adds to) that real-world image with extra layers of digital information such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data. As a result, the technology functions by enhancing one’s current perception of reality. Augmentation is conventionally in real-time and in semantic context with environmental elements. With the help of advanced AR technology (e.g. adding computer vision and object recognition) the information about the surrounding real world of the user becomes interactive and digitally manipulable.
