Unlike [[Virtual Reality]], Augmented Reality does not replace the real world with a virtual one. AR simply enhances and modifies the real world. | Unlike [[Virtual Reality]], Augmented Reality does not replace the real world with a virtual one. AR simply enhances and modifies the real world. | ||

Augmented Reality devices are transparent glasses-like wearables called [[optical head-mounted display]]s ([[OHMD]]s). These devices have displays with small projectors that create digital information and rendered images on top of objects in the physical world. These devices have built-in cameras that uses [[computer vision]] and [[object recognition]] to identify objects and decipher the physical environment around the devices. Information and data about the surroundings can be streamed into the display in real time. Users can interact and manipulate the information through various input methods such as voice commands, hand and body gestures, touchpads and more. | Augmented Reality devices are transparent glasses-like wearables called [[optical head-mounted display]]s ([[OHMD]]s).
