Answer 1

Overlaying Digital Information virtually in a physical world is called Augmented Reality.

Augmented Reality (AR) is nothing but the 'augmented section' of the physical world we all could see. It is just using sensors to generate information of the physical world by computers.

This information can be augmented by using multiple sensors such as, visual, auditory, haptic, somatosensory, and olfactory sensors.

Few examples of AR apps are

1. AcrossAir

2. Google Sky Map

3. Layar

4. Lookator

5. SpotCrime and so on.
