Augmented reality enables users to experience a three-dimensional environment generated using computer graphics, and perhaps other sensory modalities, to provide an environment for enhanced interaction between a human user and a computer-created world. Augmented Reality allows the real-time fusion of computer-generated digital content with the real world. The virtual objects, displaying information that the user cannot directly detect with his own senses, enhance the users’ perceptions and help him to perform real-world tasks better.
