Augmented Reality.

My team's topic is Augmented Reality. It "refers to the addition of a computer-assisted contextual layer of information over the real world, creating a reality that is enhanced or augmented." Augmented reality has been around for over 30 years, but it keeps evolving into bigger and better things.
My team is discussing how it can be used in entertainment. It is used for historical purposes a lot. Augmented reality allows tourists to visit places without actually being there. It is also used for GPS type of things.
There are also augmented books. 3D characters can come out of the books. I think that's really cool. There are also some cool games that have been made with augmented reality.
I do not know much about augmented reality yet. I've read about it and I am ready to learn more. I hope my team is full of hardworkers. I have sent all of them a friend request on NetGen that have a NetGen account. Hopefully we can discuss our project soon. I am looking forward to being a member of a team who live in different areas of the world. It should be exciting.
