Day by day science is changing everything, isn’t it? From Artificial Intelligence to virtual reality and now to add the list comes another captivating development known as ‘Augmented Reality’. It can be defined as a live or indirect view of real world environment whose elements are augmented (or supplemented) by any computer-generated sensory like sound, video, graphics or GPS data.

Example of Augmented Reality can be stated as this supposedly you are walking the streets of London and come across amazing bit architecture and you want to know more about it like who built it? What it is called? What it is made of? When it is built? But the building is closed and no information available nearby. Now AR will help you to find all the questions all you have to click a pic on your cellphone. Then the phone uses its built-in GPS (satellite navigation) system to figure where you are exactly searches Google images to find similar photos take in the same vicinity. Within a couple of secs all the information, videos, wiki will be available.
