Augmented what? AR is quickly becoming an emerging technology according to the 2011 Horizon Report. An augmented reality environment includes elements of the real world and the virtual world at the same time, but is interactive in real time. The interaction between the virtual object and the real world brings to life abstract concepts and seeks to enhance understanding. Sound interesting?
