What is Augmented Reality?
By Jesse Emspak, Live Science Contributor | May 31, 2018 11:27pm ET



Augmented reality is the result of using technology to superimpose information — sounds, images and text — on the world we see. Picture the "Minority Report" or "Iron Man" style of interactivity.
Augmented reality vs. virtual reality

This is rather different from virtual reality. Virtual reality means computer-generated environments for you to interact with, and be immersed in. Augmented reality (also known as AR), adds to the reality you would ordinarily see rather than replacing it.

It's really cool. Looking forward to it expanding in use...until ads take over as we walk down the street.
