Augmented Reality is a cool new tool
in the digital space.You place a paper
in front of the webcam & you get to see
some awesome 3D graphics!!! It is
mainly used in advertising only.
This is what I felt
about Augmented
Reality (AR)...
...but, I was so wrong.

Here are few...
things I didn't know about
Augmented Reality (AR)

1 Augmented
Reality is not
just a tool,
but a
full-fledged
language.

The roots of AR goes back to 1960’s: “Ivan
2 Sutherland, the computer graphics pioneer, is
largely credited with the concept of Augmented
Reality. The Head-Mounted Display, which was
prototyped by Ivan Sutherland in the late 1960’s,
started out as an AR viewing device. . .”

Augmented Reality was
introduced as the
opposite of virtual
reality; instead of
creating of synthesized
& purely information
environment, the goal of
3
AR is to augment the
real world with virtual
information.
