Augmented Reality
Augmented Reality (AR) is a growing area in virtual reality research. Computer graphics have become much more sophisticated, and game graphics are pushing the barriers of photo realism. Now, researchers and engineers are pulling graphics out of your television screen or computer display and integrating them into real-world environments. This new technology blurs the line between what’s real and what’s computer-generated by enhancing what we see, hear, feel and smell.
The basic idea of augmented reality is to superimpose graphics, audio and other sensory enhancements over a real-world environment in real time. An augmented reality system generates a composite view for the user. It is a combination of the real scene viewed by the user and a virtual scene generated by the computer that augments the scene with additional information.
