Question

What is Augmented Reality (AR)? What AR product has Sony released that is currently sold as an add-on to the Play Station?​

Answer 1

Augmented reality (AR) is one of the biggest technology trends right now, and it’s only going to get bigger as AR ready smartphones and other devices become more accessible around the world. AR let us see the real-life environment right in front of us—trees swaying in the park, dogs chasing balls, kids playing soccer—with a digital augmentation overlaid on it. For example, a pterodactyl might be seen landing in the trees, the dogs could be mingling with their cartoon counterparts, and the kids could be seen kicking past an alien spacecraft on their way to score a goal.

Sony announced that the PlayStation VR had sold over 2 million units and 12.2 million games on December 3, 2017.
