Wikipedia
Don’t let that definition throw you off your feet, let me explain, AR is a technology that enhances our physical world, by adding sound, graphics, videos, and other digital layers to our environment.
You may wonder what is the difference between AR and VR.
VR creates an entirely artificial environment while AR augments the physical environment.
AR allows you to interact with both the digital/artificial layers and your natural layers at the same time, whereas VR does not. instead, VR creates and makes you interact with just the artificial layer in a 3-dimensional space.
there are four types of AR today, they include:
- markerless AR
- marker-based AR
- projection-based AR
- superimposition-based AR
we are more interested in the AR glasses.
