'''Augmented reality''' ('''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>.

'''Augmented reality''' ('''AR''') is a technology that overlays virtual content on a real-world scene inside of a personal device like a head mounted display or a phone.
The goal of AR devices is to supplement the real world with virtual objects by overlaying digital imageries and information on top of physical objects and enabling the users of the devices to seamlessly interact with the digital content. Through the use of [[computer vision]] and [[object recognition]], digital information about the real world around us can not only be viewed but also manipulated in real-time <ref name=”6”></ref>.
