Augmented Reality is essentially the combination of both real and

only limited to the sense of sight. Augmented reality applies to all
senses – hearing, touch, smell, and so on. It seems only a matter of
time before it is integrated widely into consumer products.

Occasionally, virtual objects overlay real objects. This technique is
known as mediated or diminished reality, and also qualifies as augmented
reality under industry definition.
