In 1990, Boeing researcher Tom Caudell first coined the term “augmented reality” to describe a digital display used by aircraft electricians that blended virtual graphics onto a physical reality. As for the computer science world’s definition of augmented reality (AR) though, it’s more detailed, but essentially the same: Augmented reality is the interaction of superimposed graphics, audio and other sense enhancements over a real-world environment that’s displayed in real-time.
According to Wikipedia ” Augmented reality (AR) is a term for a live direct or indirect view of a physical real-world environment whose elements are augmented by virtual computer-generated imagery“.
You will understand the concept of Augmented Reality better when you see it work. So here are some interesting videos that demonstrate how augmented reality works.

Augmented Reality will play a big role in the future of education. I showed one of these videos to my students in the Information Technology class and they were amazed of how much these glasses can make studying interesting. Thanks David for sharing.
