Augmented reality is an interactive experience of intertwining two worlds, our real world objects with the "augmented" computer generated perceptual information. The reality is augmented by bringing changes digitally in our senses i.e. visual, auditory, haptic and olfactory. This is done by the software processing the environment and algorithms working in the hardware processing the input data to give an overall interactive session.

The ground work of augmented reality started in early 1990's. Virtual Fixtures systems developed but the US Air Force's Armstrong Laboratory in 1992. Augmented reality is just brining in the digital aspects and information of the objects around ourselves to understand there usability .

The applications of AR are far fetched and is in extensive use in fields like Video Games, Social Interaction, Medical Research and Application, Military, Broadcast and Tourism. Some of the present day examples of AR implementation are -
