Augmented Reality

This image is from the ARTHUR project (Augmented Round Table for Architecture and Urban Planning) that uses an augmented reality interface for round table design meetings.

Augmented reality (AR), or augmented vision, is the use of virtual reality technology such as virtual text or graphics superimposed on the real world. The article "Reality, Only Better" in The Economist describes the promise of AR in multiple applications including psychotherapy, entertainment, and discrepancy-checking software in the building fields.
