What is Augmented Reality (AR)
Augmented Reality (AR) is precisely what the name indicates. AR is an augmented version of reality that is created by blending technology with the the known world. What we know about the actual world is twisted and distorted, or augmented. I like to think of it as a putting a twist on reality by using technology.
GPS PenguinsGuiding Visitors
Adorable, waddling penguins lead the way to the Sunshine Aquarium in Tokyo, Japan. The aquarium can be difficult to locate the the AR app was developed to have a group of special penguins lead the way. The app uses GPS and realistic movements of penguins to captivate tourists. You’ll want your own penguins to take you places too!
