Augmented reality (AR) can be defined as able to deal with the new information immediately direct or indirect therefore influence the physical real-world environment has been enhanced/augmented were by adding virtual computer-generated information to it

Milgram and Kishino defined the continuum of reality-virtuality where AR is considered a portion of the overall subject area of mixed reality. Both virtual environments and augmented virtuality where the real items are sub-joined to the virtual ones can substitute the adjacent environment by a virtual one. On the contrary, the local virtuality is submitter by the augmented reality
