**Augmented Reality** - Also known as AR (//not accelerated reader//) this technological term combines the real and virtual. "//You already know what augmented reality is. You just might not know it's called that, and when you've seen it as its best, you probably haven’t even noticed it at all.//  //Put at its simplest, augmented reality, or AR to its friends, is the art of super-imposing of computer generated content over a live view of the world. The most often used example is the one the world is most familiar with and that’s television sports analysis. The reality is the footage of the game of football and the augmentations are the arrows of the players' movement and the zonal areas marked out that don’t exist on the actual playing surface. For example, the first down line in American football is something that doesn't exist on the real pitch but that the viewer can see nonetheless on the picture beamed over the airwaves and to television screen thanks to the addition of a graphical overlay//."
