#What Is Augmented Reality

Augmented Reality is technology through which digital application are integrated with real time environment. It is a far different concept than the term you have most have heard of virtual reality which is an totally artificial environment which is created digitally.It is an overlay process of both the user environment and the digital world through which the experience you can get is far better and jaw opening.Hardware components for augmented reality are: processor, display, sensors and input devices for processing recorded  data for better real time experience.

#History

In 1901: L. Frank Baum , an author, first mentions the idea of an electronic display/spectacles that overlays data onto real life (in this case 'people'), it is named a 'character marker'.And after may theory and work has been published but the first real working model is developed in 1992 by Louis Rosenberg he develops one of the first functioning AR systems, called Virtual Fixtures, at the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory and demonstrates benefits to human performance.Now ,Google glass and Microsoft's Windows Holographic and the HoloLens augmented reality headset are various application hardware devices in the real world which uses various sensors and a processing unit to blend with the real world.

#AR digital Reality ?

Augmented Reality is the real deal of how you see the world ? It became the tool that can change the perspective about the world. It can be developed in such a way that the gap between the imagination and reality can be put to an end. It's can be termed as you can summon a digital world in which you can draw down your imagination and manipulate in totally different way.The digital reality brings a revolution in learning process in which you can actually visualize the whole process in the real time whether its a war sequence or a explanation of any concept of physics.Actually it has the ability to remove the traditional way of doing with a new revolutionize of using application whether its online shopping or medical advice or any related field. 

Humans are very sensitive in context of what they see rather than what they hear that is reason when your friend tells you about a particular movie and you actually see it. So you can guess what the difference it can bring in your mind. That's the only reason that the games PokemonGo has became a overnight success and too much additive. So what happen when you  play other games just like that. Is the world next move it that moving to the digital reality after digital currencies?

#HowtheyDevelopAR

One can develop APPS and API of Augmented Reality applications in the Android market of which Layar and Wikitude are well known. Others like SomaView and GeoVector also exist. AFAIK, Wikitude and Layar have made their API's public.There is also a toolkit named, NyARToolkit that provides a library for such a thing and for bringing augmented reality to the web browser there is FLARToolkit.
