AR & Virtual Reality (VR) AR is the computer application that manipulates digital info to be augmented in reality.

VR is when reality is virtually augmented in the computer application.

A Simple Definition Augmented Reality (AR) is a super-imposed illusion of an interactive 3 dimensional environment or multimedia such as an image, a text, sound and movie on the computer screen when the camera of a computer device which already has the software installed tracks a marker in reality by Radio Frequency Identification (RFID). (Vate-U-Lan, 2010).

Something on the top of a marker means it will turn off.

A marker can even work on skin or cloth and should be printed on normal paper, not glossy paper.

Colour or black and white of marker does not a matter. This herald a new era of publishing!

AR also works in a markerless environment.

Guidelines for using AR for educational purposes 1) Augmented Reality on marker is a most exciting mode.

2) The light must be appropriate during the demonstration.

3) The quality of ink on a marker needs to be good.

4) The crispate (or unclear) marker gives poor quality AR. 5) The camera is simulating the same site users are reviewing, thus the users will see the Templates reflected pictureFree asPowerpoint if it were a mirror reversed.
