Augmented Reality is an integration of digital information in the form of text, graphics, audio, 3D models, GPS data or other virtual components, overlaid on a real-time camera view within smartphones, tablets, glasses or head-mounted displays (HMD). With advancements in wearable computing, smartphones and the Internet of Things, Augmented Reality solutions are poised for rapid growth.

Enterprise Architects (EA) today consider integrating Augmented Reality (AR) to enhance end-user experience and transform traditional business processes such as manufacturing, maintenance, training and more. A recent survey by Gartner reveals that 40% of all organizations currently using or piloting AR found that AR technology exceeded expectations.
