Augmented Reality
**Augmented Reality (AR)** is an interactive technology that overlays digital information—such as images, sounds, or data—onto the real-world environment, typically viewed through devices like smartphones, tablets, or AR glasses. Unlike virtual reality, which creates a fully immersive digital experience, AR enhances the user's perception of reality by integrating virtual elements with physical surroundings. Applications of AR span various fields, including gaming, education, healthcare, and industrial maintenance. The technology relies on computer vision, object recognition, and real-time data processing to function effectively.
