Augmented Reality: Enhancing What We See

Augmented reality (AR) enhances our view of reality by overlaying information using technology like cameras and sensors. Initially used in military applications, AR has evolved into various fields, including gaming, education, and navigation. Unlike virtual reality, which creates a separate world, AR integrates digital information with the real world. Current AR applications are available on smartphones and laptops, with future trends pointing towards smart glasses. As technology advances, AR is expected to become more prevalent and cost-effective.
