==General Information==
'''Augmented Reality''' or '''AR''' is a technology that enhances perception, allowing environments to be enriched in new ways. A basic characteristic of AR is that it merges the real and the virtual worlds. The technology aims to enhance our perception of reality through the incorporation of computer generated data and simulations into our senses, creating a reality-based interface <ref name=”6”></ref>.

Line 6: Line 7:
In general, the technology combines real and virtual objects, aligns real and virtual objects with each other, and runs interactively in real-time. Furthermore, it is not restricted to a specific type of display technology, like an HMD, and can potentially be applied to other senses beside sight <ref name=”6”></ref>.

In the [[mixed reality]] continuum, AR is closer to a real environment. Therefore, unlike Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality does not replace the real world with a virtual one. AR simply enhances and modifies the real world <ref name=”6”></ref>.
