Virtual Experiences

What Is And How Does Augmented Reality Work?

Introduction

Augmented reality is a technology that transforms the way we see the world around us. It can be used to create immersive experiences, tell stories, and even transform the way we do business. Here are some examples of how augmented reality works and who uses it.

What is augmented reality?

Augmented reality (AR) is a live, direct or indirect, view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data. The earliest example of virtual technology dates back to 1965 at the New York World’s Fair where attendees experienced an early version of AR through on-site televisions that allowed them to see what life was like in other countries around the world. Since then AR has been used in many different industries including gaming and healthcare as well as military applications such as drone piloting training programs where users can practice flying drones without having any experience with them first before flying one for real outside

How does augmented reality work?

Augmented reality (AR) is a view of the real world enhanced by computer-generated sensory input. It can be used on a smartphone, tablet or computer to make the world around us more interesting, engaging and useful.

The simplest way to understand augmented reality is by comparing it with virtual reality (VR). In VR, there’s no distinction between what you see on screen and what exists in real life; you’re entirely immersed in an artificial environment created by technology. In AR, however–and this is why we call it “augmented”–you still have access to your surroundings when using an AR app: You can see your hands or feet if they’re in front of you; if someone walks up behind themself while playing Pokémon Go!, we’ll be able to spot them as well!

Who uses augmented reality?

Augmented reality is used in many different industries and sectors. In fact, it can be found in every industry that involves interacting with the world around you.

This includes:

  • Entertainment–Augmented Reality has been used to create new experiences for video games, movies and more!
  • Healthcare–AR allows doctors to look inside their patients’ bodies without cutting them open!
  • Education–Augmented Reality textbooks help students learn about anything from dinosaurs to outer space without needing an internet connection

Augmented reality is used in gaming, education and marketing. In construction it can help to show how a building will look once it’s built. It can also be used in healthcare to assist doctors with diagnostics or surgery planning.

Augmented Reality is a technology that transforms the way we see the world around us. It’s a type of computer-generated sensory experience, which means it allows you to interact with your environment in new and exciting ways.

AR enables you to interact with objects in real time, bringing them into 3D space around you so that they feel more realistic and lifelike than ever before.

Conclusion

We hope that this article has helped you to understand what augmented reality is and how it works. As you can see, it’s a very exciting technology that has the potential to transform our lives in many ways. We look forward to seeing where it goes next!
