What is Augmented Reality(AR)?

• Augmented reality is the technology that extends the visuality of our physical world adding layers of digital information onto it.
• AR is the vision of physical real-world environment modulated with computer-generated image or object.
• In AR  physical, real-world environment is overlaid by computer-generated content. Augmented reality uses an user’s existing environment and adds a digital element in it.
• AR embeds the virtual objects(Computer generated image) in the real time environment which enhance the understanding and  functionality of the user existing environment.

What is principal of AR(Augmented Reality)?

•Using a mobile application, a mobile phone's camera identifies

and interprets a marker, often a black and white barcode image.

• The software analyses the marker and creates a virtual image

overlay on the mobile phone's screen, tied to the position of the

camera.

•This means the app works with the camera to interpret the

angles and distance the mobile phone is away from the marker.
