What is Augmented •the AR technology involves the exhibit andReality? manipulation of 2D and 3D objects. The real images or 3D and the text of AR application appear on the computer screen when the camera device installs the software by capturing the marker through Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) •Augmented Reality has various levels of application.

•It is fundamentally an engaging technological process of combining live video with computer-generated data and visualizations at one level.

•At another, it is using technology to import computerized graphics against a real environment background.

1.Comparison of AR and VR •From 2009 AR has become a more common topic in both search volume index terms and news reference volume than VR. •This result seems to reflect the ubiquitous growth of mobile technology as well as featured camera technology and the ease of touch screen mobile phones with Global Positioning System (GPS) such as the iPhone and Android phones as the main factors in the development of AR projects.

•AR will be widely used for educational purposes within 2-3 years as reported by the 2010 Horizon Report, an annual report on modern learning and teaching technologies.

Level Three - Augmented Vision • The lens used sensors and wireless technology to allow bionic eyesight.

People who wore this AR contact lens were able to monitor their heart by making use of tiny circuits and Light-Emitting Diode (LEDs) [16].
