Augmented Reality

Augmented reality is the integration of digital information with the user's environment in real time. Unlike the virtual reality that creates a truly artificial 3D environment. Augmented reality technology uses the existing environment in the real world then adds new information on it.

For augmented reality devices that attract attention is a Microsoft-made device that is named Microsoft HoloLens. This device focuses on combining augmented reality three-dimensional holograms with the real world. In addition, Google Glass-shaped glass made by Google is a glasses that use augmented reality technology that has many functions.

This augmented reality technology is commonly used in the fields of military, medical, communications, and manufacturing. An example often used by users is Google Translate. This allows users to translate foreign language words viewed using a smartphone camera such as a bulletin board or signs.

thus, the difference between virtual reality and augmented reality is that virtual reality replaces reality with the whole world, while augmented reality adds or completes reality with apparent objects.
