Augmented reality is a live view of the real world enhanced by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics, or GPS data.
AR is being used in a variety of contexts, ranging from personal to professional, from education to entertainment. This technology is already being used by companies in many industries to offer products and services and provide consumers with information via displays viewed through smart glasses or smartphones.
In some augmented reality applications, an image of a real object is captured by a camera and displayed on the screen of a device. A virtual object is then superimposed over the captured image and appears on the screen above the captured image. In this way, the user of the device can interact with the captured image by selecting and manipulating the virtual object.
There are a number of apps available in the Google Play Store and Apple's App Store. The AR features found in these apps range from simple animations to full 3D simulations. Common examples of AR apps include Instagram, Snapchat, YouCam Makeup, GIPHY World, and Google Lens. 3D Printing: 3D printing is the process of creating a three-dimensional object from a digital model. It can be used to create objects from a variety of materials, including plastics, metals, and even food.
