Definition

Augmented Reality (AR) is a variation of Virtual Environments (VE), or  Virtual Reality as it is more commonly called.  VE technologies completely immerse a user inside a synthetic environment.  While immersed, the user cannot see the real world around him.  In contrast, AR allows the user to see the real world, with virtual objects superimposed upon or composited with the real world.  Therefore, AR supplements reality, rather than completely replacing it.  Ideally, it would appear to the user that the virtual and real objects coexisted in the same space, similar to the effects achieved in the film “Who Framed Roger Rabbit?”  Azuma, Ronald T. A Survey of Augmented Reality.  Presence: Teleoperators and Virtual Environments 6, 4 (August 1997), 355 – 385.
