Augmented Reality

This section of the guide discusses augmented reality and all issues related to this innovative form of technology. Most of this guide is dedicated to virtual reality but this section talks about augmented reality which is very similar in many ways in that you are able to interact with three dimensional images.

The difference between the two is that virtual reality enables a person to explore and interact within a three dimensional environment. Whereas augmented reality blurs the boundary between real and virtual worlds but always with the aim of enhancing reality - hence the term ‘augmented reality’.

A more detailed description of this technology can be found in our what is augmented reality? article.
