This essay sheds light on what is augmented reality, delineates the five types of augmented reality, explicates how augmented reality will revolutionize industries, and demystifies the benefits of companies leveraging augmented reality. Augmented reality is an augmented version of reality which is possible by augmented reality technologies that are able to superimpose reality with graphics, text, and audio that enhance reality. Augmented Reality technologies allow you to experience an augmented version of reality that you can seamlessly interface with. Augmented reality technologies can inundate reality with interactive digital visuals. Augmented reality technologies can even gamify the real world, such as by allowing users to bask in playing games in real world settings with the usage of ample augmented reality overlays and augmented reality characters. Augmented Reality technologies can render reality all the more immersive, interactive, engaging, exhilarating, exciting, and stimulating. Augmented reality technologies, such as augmented reality smart glasses, can allow people to indulging in experiencing an augmented reality first-hand. Augmented reality technologies, such as augmented reality smart glasses, can also be leveraged to allow people to enter the digital reality of the metaverse. Developers of augmented reality experiences can customize the reality that you experience when you dabble into the world of augmented reality. Developers of augmented reality experiences can control which interactive digital visuals and augmented reality characters will inhabit the world of augmented reality. The world of augmented reality is an artificial reality that superimposes reality with graphics, text, and audio that enhance reality which causes it to be a contrived reality forged by developers of augmented reality experiences. Augmented reality technologies have a plethora of practical applications which allows the world of augmented reality to be able to do far more than just gamify the real world. Not every augmented reality application is an augmented reality video game. Augmented reality applications can also be utilized for the purpose of promoting products. Augmented reality applications can also be utilized to enhance the customer shopping experience. Augmented reality applications can also be utilized to help facilitate employee training. The world of augmented reality can allow far more than just allowing users to bask in playing games in augmented reality in real world settings. The world of augmented reality can even feature novel augmented reality advertisements. The world of the augmented reality can even render it possible for customers to visualize how various products, such as furniture products, would look like if they were placed in their abodes. The world of the augmented reality can even be leveraged to enhance employee training programs, such as by allowing trainees in the healthcare industry to be able to view meticulously detailed 3D images of various body systems, which can help to facilitate learning. The world of the augmented reality is underdeveloped and is in its genesis. The world of the augmented reality has the latent potential to become a far more robust reality overtime. There are five types of augmented reality which are able to enhance reality. The five types of augmented reality encompass outlining augmented reality, location based augmented reality, recognition based augmented reality, superimposition based augmented reality, and projection based augmented reality. Superimposition based augmented reality is able to utilize object recognition which is ultimately able to replace either part of an object or an entire object with an augmented view. Superimposition based augmented reality is able to superimpose reality by utilizing object recognition to render it possible to be able to view objects with an augmented view. Superimposition based augmented reality can for instance be utilized in the healthcare industry to render it possible for healthcare industry professional to superimpose a detailed x-ray view of a fractured bone on a real image. Outlining augmented reality is able to also utilize object recognition. Outlining augmented reality leverages object recognition to work by outlining objects with an augmented view. Outlining augmented reality for instance can be utilized in the field of architecture in order to be able to outline buildings and their corresponding supporting pillars. Location based augmented reality is able to utilize the location detection features of a smart device to render it possible for a user to be able to view germane information in an augmentation about whatever the user is looking for on a smart device.
