Augmented Reality Apps
Augmented Reality (AR) technology is used in many different fields. There are literally thousands of applications available today!
​
Here are some examples of how Augmented Reality applications are currently used -
​
Archaeology - AR aids research by augmenting archaeological features onto the modern landscape, enabling archaeologists to formulate conclusions about site placements and configurations.
​
Architecture - AR can aid in visualising building projects. Computer generated images of a structures can be super imposed into a real-life local view of a property before the actual building is constructed.

Education - AR allows students to participate interactively with computer generated simulations such as historical events.
​
Gaming - AR allows gamers to experience digital game play in real world environments.
​
Augmented Reality is also used in construction, art, emergency search and rescue, medicine, beauty, military, navigation, sports and entertainment, television, translation, and tourism and sightseeing.
