Augmenting Reality
Augmented Reality is changing the way we view the world -- or at least the way its users see the world and Augmenting Reality will be the next big advancement in communication.

How would you like to stand on a marker, looking at the screen in front of you, and watch a dinosaur walk past you on the screen? Or an astronaut? Or an exercise instructor appears through a manhole and gets you to do exercise with him? We can show you the most cost effective way to do this. Want to know more? Augmenting Reality is a means for placing the virtual world, over the real world. At its basic, you place a marker, which can be real or virtual, in an area. Point your smart device at it with the app selected, and a virtual object is superimposed over your real world view. You can move around the object in real time and see the different sides. Objects can be anything you like, from spacecraft to animated cartoons. We’ve taken this one step further and can do Augmenting Reality on a large scale, where the experience is enjoyed by hundreds at the same time, or on a small scale in a one to one interaction. Instead of a static object, we combine real people with virtual people to get them to interact together to create unique and memorable experiences.
We know that this is sometimes difficult to understand so have a look at our video above to guide you through this amazing tech.

At its basic, Augmenting Reality is a way of placing a virtual world over our real world. We do this through various devices such as tablets, smart phones, monitors and in the near future this will come to us via amazing technologies like Hololens and Magic leap. .
Difference between Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality
Augmented Reality is available via mobile phones in particular smartphones such as the iPhone. These phones have GPRS which obtains information about a particular geographical location which can be overlaid with tags etc. Images, videos etc can be superimposed onto this location. Handheld devices such as smartphones and the iPad are other ways to use Augmented Reality. They contain software, sensors, a compass and small digital projectors which display images onto real world objects. Another option is a head mounted display (HMD) which is often used in Virtual Reality applications.
An important issue is that of successfully integrating computer generated images within the real world. They need to be realistic and useful to be of real benefit to the user.
