Augmented reality is the hottest thing since sliced bread. (What came before sliced bread is anyone’s guess.) Simply put, augmented reality (AR) refers to software that superimposes computer-generated virtual imagery onto real-world images. Thus, reality is ‘augmented’ with digital information. You know the Head-Up Displays fighter pilots have? That’s augmented reality. Unfortunately we civilians have to make do with Apple iPhones, but that’s the next best thing.
