AUGMENTED REALITY

                                                   Just imagine in the near future..... 


We may have come across augmented reality but not know that it is called that. Augmented reality (AR) is a live, copy, view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented (or supplemented) by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data. The surrounding real world of the user becomes interactive and digitally manipulable. Artificial information about the environment and its objects can be overlaid on the real world.

They used it for advertising purposes too! Some are in Singapore.


In the Marvel drama series, Agents of Shield, they also used it to film and add AWESOME effects.

Another awesome example is this glasses that uses this fabulous technology. 
Something similar to Google Glasses. 


Something my group mates and I presented but sadly have to rush through it due to time constraints, the Nintendo. Nintendo over the years created trendy games and also trendy game consoles. They brought gaming to the non-gamers and catered it to factors why they would shun away for games. Usually it's because of the game console buttons. But that aside, Nintendo 3DS has this function that makes use of Augmented Reality. And this is how you use this function! 

 I know, this makes you want to go out and get one now! so.... here's some augmented reality games for you to check it out that is available on your smartphones! 
😏just be sure of your surroundings before you play them!
