The Augmented Reality combines the real world with the virtual world by means of a computerized process, enriching the visual experience and improving the communication channel. The user dives into a world created by a computer.
Thanks to this technology we can add visual information to the existing reality. For instance, only by focusing the camera on a printed item (book, poster…) a 3D representation, a video, a panoramic image, a game, a questionnaire will appear on the screen…. A computer or a mobile device is needed (cell-phone or tablet) with the right application or software installed.
Within the following years the Augmented Reality will turn into one of the most important sources of information.
