What is Augmented Reality?

Augmented Reality (AR) enhances your perception of the real world by overlaying computer-generated images, sounds, video, or GPS data onto it. Unlike Virtual Reality (VR), which replaces the real world, AR augments it. The Vuforia platform is a popular choice for AR development, used by developers worldwide. Pokemon Go is a prime example of the power of AR. AR applications are transforming industries like education, business, architecture, healthcare, home decoration, and mobile gaming.
