About Augmented Reality
Augmented Reality is a Terra Invicta technology in InformationScience with a research cost of 1,500.
Computer-enhanced overlays of human sensory information with applications in construction, military operations, and communications.
Augmented reality (AR) distinguishes itself from its virtual counterpart in that it overlays digital information and imagery onto a real-world environment - essentially annotating reality. Its potential applications include marketing, cross-culture communication, navigation, and even soldiers understanding the lie of the land and the capabilities of the foes they face with but a glance. In short, AR is the bright promise of instant access to all human knowledge in any given situation. As we devise new forms of wearable technology and refine the algorithms that drive them, so too can we expand the uses of AR to better prepare our military, keep our populace both informed and entertained, and more rapidly train the coming generation of space-travelers.
