According to M2 Presswire, “Augmented reality is the combination of virtual reality and real life.” This technology takes what you are seeing in your actual environment and adds to it in real-time. The wearer could be shooting at aliens in his or her bedroom, while sitting at a computer desk. Augmented Reality technology can be seen in games like Real Strike and “Zombies Everywhere!” Real Strike turns your everyday environment into a warzone by giving you a gun, first-person view, and enemies to eliminate. Zombies Everywhere has a similar concept to Real Strike, but your enemies are zombies. Another good example of Augmented Reality is the mobile app, Wikitude.
