What is it?

"Augmented reality is defined as the technology in which virtual objects are blended with the real world and also interact with each other." (Yildiz, 2021) "

"AR applications are usually available through mobile devices, such as smartphones and tablets, and employ built-in cameras, GPS sensors, and Internet access to embed real-world environments with dynamic, context aware, and interactive digital content" (Lytridis, Tsinakos, & Kazanidis, 2018, p. 1 ).

Immersive Technologies

Augmented Reality can be categorized as an 'immersive technology', alongside Virtual Reality (VR) and Mixed Reality (MR).

VR implies a complete immersion experience that shuts out the real world, and MR combines elements of AR and VR (Bates, 2019).
