Augmented Reality (AR) refers to a technology that enhances the real world with digital information or computer-generated sensory input, such as visuals, sound, or haptic feedback.

Augmented reality technology is a digital technology that overlays digital information or virtual objects in the real-world environment, enhancing the user’s perception of reality.

AR technology has various applications in different industries, including gaming, education, healthcare, retail, and interior design.

AR technology offers an immersive and interactive experience, enabling users to interact with digital content in a more intuitive and natural way.

AR typically works by overlaying virtual information onto the physical world, either through a device like a smartphone, tablet, or headset or through projection onto surfaces.

AR can be used in a variety of applications, such as gaming, entertainment, education, advertising, and industrial training.

AR can allow consumers to try on products virtually, such as makeup or clothing.
