The overlay of computer-presented
information on top of the real world
Combines real and virtual realities
Interactive in real time
Registered in 3D
Not the same as “virtual reality”

Virtual reality
 Immerses the viewer into computer-generated
environments
 Requires equipment which completely obstructs
visual view of physical objects in the real world

Augmented reality
 Augments or adds graphics, audio, and other
sensory enhancements to the natural world as it
exists


Virtual and real environments are at opposite
ends of this continuum
AR is closer to the real environment
