Augmented reality refers to: “a technology that superimposes a computer-generated image on user’s view of the real world, thus providing composite view”. It has become resourceful in many fields including dentistry and medicine. Currently augmented is restricted to education, maxillofacial surgeries implantology but further research development can expand its uses other critical areas. In prost...

Abstract Augmented reality (AR) technologies function to ‘augment’ normal perception by superimposing virtual objects onto an agent’s visual field. The philosophy of augmented is a small but growing subfield within the technology. Existing work in this includes research on phenomenology experiences, metaphysics objects, and different ethical issues associated with AR systems, including (but not...

Early work in augmented reality grew out of virtual reality research domains. These initial augmented reality systems applied the same methods and technology to solve what at first appeared to be a similar problem: correctly render a scene of virtual objects as the user changes viewpoint in the world. This is indeed similar for augmented and virtual reality systems. In virtual reality systems o...
