'''Augmented reality''' is when there is a virtual space that is in a coordinate reference frame whose transform space is homeomorphic to the transform space of the real world. In general, it is when something virtual shares your coordinate reference frame or a coordinate reference frame that is embedded with in that of the real world.

Augmented reality can be done using a notebook computer. In this way, it does not need an [[absolute positioning system]] relative to the environment. It has an embedded coordinate system, such that there is a homotopy between the set of [[transform]]s in the real world coordinate system and the set of transforms in the embedded coordinate system of the notebook computer.
