“Augmented reality is the integration of digital information with the user's environment in real time. Unlike virtual reality, which creates an entirely artificial environment, augmented reality uses the existing environment and superimposes new information on top of it.”

Computer scientists at the Technical University of Munich believe that seven sectors of the economy will face drastic disruption in the future because of virtual and augmented reality. The seven sectors are: retail, music, auto repair shops, manufacturing, communications, IT services and education.
“Virtual and augmented reality are disruptive technologies: they will relentlessly and rapidly eliminate existing products, business models and production processes. This process will be moving forward in just a few years.”
