Augmented reality: the best kept technological secret so far

Augmented reality (AR) is a live direct or indirect view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are “augmented” by computer-generated or extracted real-world sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data. It is related to a more general concept called computer-mediated reality, in which a view of reality is modified (possibly even diminished rather than augmented) by a computer. Augmented reality enhances one’s current perception of reality, whereas in contrast, virtual reality replaces the real world with a artificial one Augmentation techniques are typically performed in real time and in semantic context with environmental elements, such as overlaying supplemental information like scores over a live video feed of a sporting event linkdvelpment are leading the Middle East in creating augmented reality (AR) solutions using Microsoft HoloLens

You experience something in another reality and that experience is real. In addition, just because of this quality you can guide people in their augmented reality experience. That opens up some possibilities
