Augmented Reality. What exactly is this new buzz term all about?  The term augmented reality is believed to have been coined in 1990 by Thomas Caudell, an employee of Boeing at the time. Not that new then. Below is what Wiki details on this 'new' technology

There are two commonly accepted definitions of Augmented Reality today. One was given by Ronald Azuma in 1997 ^[2]. Azuma's definition says that Augmented Reality

• combines real and virtual

• is interactive in real time

• is registered in 3D

Additionally Paul Milgram and Fumio Kishino defined Milgram's Reality-Virtuality Continuum in 1994 ^[3]. They describe a continuum that spans from the real environment to a pure virtual environment. In between there are Augmented Reality (closer to the real environment) and Augmented Virtuality (is closer to the virtual environment).

O . . . . k enough of the tech jargon lets dive into how augmented reality is being used to make our lives richer.
