Classic movies such as Robocop, Terminator, Predator, Top Gun, Iron Man and Avatar have one thing in common and that’s Augmented Reality (AR). All the lead actors of these movies offer a glimpse of what AR is capable of achieving. Today, there’s so much hype around this innovative and next-gen technology but what exactly is this technology? And how does it operate?

Here’s the answer: Augmented Reality is an interactive experience in which computer-generated content is superimposed on the real-environment in real time. The technology can be used via head-mounted displays, smart glasses, and handheld devices. Cameras, sensors, software etc. are embedded in these solutions to provide varied information in detail to end-users.
