Augmented Reality
Augmented Reality (AR) is an interactive technology that overlays digital information—such as images, sounds, or data—onto the real-world environment, typically viewed through devices like smartphones, tablets, or AR glasses. AR enhances users’ perceptions of reality by integrating computer-generated content in real time. It has diverse applications in gaming, education, medicine, and industrial maintenance. Unlike Virtual Reality (VR), which immerses users in a fully computer-generated environment, AR blends virtual elements with the physical world.
