Overview:
Augmented Reality (AR) Engineering involves the creation of interactive, real-world environments enhanced with digital information, such as graphics, sounds, and sensory stimuli, in real-time. AR engineers design applications and systems that blend the virtual world with the physical world, using devices like smartphones, AR glasses, and headsets. AR is used in various industries such as gaming, retail, healthcare, education, and tourism to provide immersive, interactive experiences.
