This document discusses augmented reality and provides examples of its different forms. It begins by defining augmented reality as the projection of digital information onto real sound or video. It then outlines several forms of augmented reality including browser-based, computer and mobile device-based using cues or cameras, and GPS-based applications like Layar and Google Street View. The document concludes by providing tags and web addresses for further information on augmented reality.
