Wikipedia describes it as a live view of a physical, real-time environment, the elements of which are augmented (or supplemented) by computer-generated sensory inputs like sound, graphics, video or GPS data. For us, it has made the world simpler with greater access to information and a faster and more reliable platform to work upon. The field of augmented reality app development has placed a digital overlay of the real world through cameras in modern smart devices.
