Augmented reality

Augmented reality (often known as AR, not to be mixed with Virtual Reality and Mixed Reality.) is a computer technology that shows digital images on top of the current real world. For example it can show a digital table on top of a floor. It is different from virtual reality which makes a person feel they are somewhere else.
