What is Augmented Reality(AR) ?

We have all seen Lenskart ads offering the user to try thousands of designs within a few seconds online. Have you ever wondered what’s behind this creativity? Or, for instance, the craze of 2016 for every child, Pokemon Go that made Pokemons appear in front of you on your phone screens around your real-world seemed more like Magic to eyes. All this is AR for you! Making imaginations turn to reality!

 It also acts as a helping aid, for example, suppose you’re out at a grocery store in some other country and all the products are in their native language. Could you imagine the trouble you have to go through in order to understand the name of the products around you? Google Translate using AR technology solves that for you! With a simple smartphone camera, it can help you listen & read out the texts on products in the language you understand.
