Augmented Reality / Virtual Reality
Augmented Reality (AR) is cutting-edge technology that is literally changing the way we view the world! Through the lens of the user's device, the software recognizes images and objects (aka "triggers"), and overlays predetermined content (graphics or videos). The app, Aurasma, is an example of this software. Virtual Reality (VR) is a technology from science fiction that has become science fact. VR is an immersive multimedia experience that uses technology simulate reality. Currently, Google Cardboard is the leading tool in this field.
