Augmented Reality

Augmented Reality (AR) is a technology that overlays digital information—such as images, sound, or text—onto the user’s view of the real world. It enhances the physical environment rather than replacing it entirely (as in Virtual Reality).

Key Concepts

  • Spatial Computing: The intersection of physical and digital worlds, requiring precise understanding of 3D space.
  • Real-time Interaction: AR systems must process environmental data and render overlays with low latency.
  • Registration: The alignment of virtual objects with real-world coordinates.
