Augmented reality blends digital information or objects with the real-world environment. It relies on computer vision, sensors, and display technologies to recognize and overlay digital content onto the user's view of the physical world. AR systems, often implemented on smartphones or smart glasses, must accurately understand the user's surroundings and context to provide relevant augmentations. WPI experts on augmented reality can speak to its applications in education (enhanced learning materials), navigation (head-up displays in vehicles), and industrial maintenance (overlaying instructions on machinery).
