Augmented reality is a technology that expands the capability of businesses and puts more information and power in the hands of users, customers and clients. Augmented reality software applications overlay computer-generated imagery over images of the real world. These applications can be integrated into many types of devices, including mobile devices, smart phones, desktop computers, kiosks, video billboards and many other types of devices.
Augmented reality software can be integrated into current systems, or built as a stand-alone application. It can also be incorporated into existing systems such as ecommerce, web applications, mobile apps, and many types of learning, training and industry software.

Augmented reality solutions can be implemented among the following platforms:
Smart Phone "Apps"
Augmented reality is becoming increasingly popular on smart phone operating systems, such as AndroidTM, Windows Phone 7TM, and the iPhoneTM OS which also runs the iPod TouchTM and iPadTM. Although there are still some limitations to the technology, it is surprisingly powerful and versatile, and will only improve with time.
Mobile Software
In addition to augmented reality smart phone applications, stand-alone hardware systems can also run augmented reality software. This may include a wearable or remote camera, a digital heads up display (HUD), GPS, or additional sensors. Mobile augmented reality includes everything from wearable systems to embedded systems in vehicles or aircraft. This type of solution is more common in specialized industry and medical situations, but has been used elsewhere as well.
E-commerce & Web Sales
Augmented reality benefits web sales and ecommerce by allowing customers to demo products before they actually purchase them. By being able to virtually try on clothes, play with a toy, or tour a house before making a purchase or commitment can be a huge benefit over competition that only shows pictures or user reviews.
Desktop Applications
From gaming to productivity software, augmented reality can enhance the user's experience and make information and control easier and more intuitive. Desktop applications may use external devices, such as a web camera or other optical scanner, but can be fairly universally applied on most Windows, Mac, or Linux based operating systems.
