Augmented Reality: Definition and Features
Augmented Reality: General Idea
Augmented reality is a technology that has gained popularity in recent years; it is often referred to in the subject literature as an emerging technology that has great potential for educational activities. This technology is based on the idea of applying an additional layer of digital information to images of real objects and locations in real time, thus complementing and extending them with new, additional elements that are valuable to the user (Azuma et al. 2001). The additional layer of information can contain text, images, videos, or other multimedia or interactive components that expand the view of the physical world with digital elements. The main features that distinguish augmented reality from other technologies include seamless blending of virtual and real elements into one environment,...
