According to http://rebuzl.com http://rebuzl.com (http://rebuzl.com) Augmented Reality (AR) is a term used to describe a live view of a physical, real-world environment that is augmented by computer-generated sensory input, such as sound or graphics. A typical AR environment has digital information transposed onto a real-world view. Despite the sudden burst in popularity for augmented reality (AR), the concept isn't new. The Tech giants have been working on it for decades.
AR should not be confused with virtual reality (VR), which is an entirely digital experience that mimics real-world situations.
