Augmented reality (AR) technology integrates digital information with the physical environment, live and in real time. Through the addition of graphics, sounds, haptic feedback, or even smell to the natural world as it exists, AR can combine real life with a super-imposed image or animation using the camera on a mobile device or through AR headsets and glasses. As part of the wider extended reality (XR) industry, the global AR market size is expected to grow considerably in the coming years.
