What is Augmented Reality?

Augmented Reality is a new form of interaction between humans and technology in which the user is given supplementary visual information, for example, via data-glasses. This supplementary information is, however, context dependent, i.e. drawn from and fitted to the real object being viewed, for example, a component. Here what a technician actually sees will be complemented by a visual representation of the relevant fitting instructions for the component. In this case Augmented reality can replace the old-style handbook.
