Augmented Reality (eBook)

What Is Augmented Reality

Augmented reality (AR) is an interactive experience of a real-world environment in which the objects that reside in the real world are enhanced by computer-generated perceptual information. This enhancement can sometimes take place across multiple sensory modalities, including visual, auditory, haptic, somatosensory, and olfactory. Augmented reality (AR) is also known as mixed reality (MR). The term 'augmented reality' (AR) refers to a system that combines real and virtual worlds, allows for interaction in real time, and accurately registers virtual and real things in three dimensions. The information that is superimposed on the sensory experience may either be useful or detrimental. This experience is so expertly integrated into the fabric of the actual world that it gives the impression of being an immersive component of the setting in which it is taking place. To put it another way, augmented reality modifies an individual's continuing perception of a real-world environment, while virtual reality totally replaces an individual's real-world environment with a simulated one. Mixed reality and computer-mediated reality are similar to augmented reality, although the concepts have essentially become synonymous with one another.
