Augmented Reality
Abstract
The main target of this report is to broad the concept of Augmented Reality. In addition, this report also includes the analysis of various economic and environmental issues produced by Augmented Reality. The report is divided into 6 different sections. Each section has its own purpose. In the beginning, a brief introduction about Augmented Reality (AR) is given, along with its types and working mechanism. Similarly, the background section tells about the history of AR; how AR has evolved from the series of development. In addition, it also discusses about the practical implementation. Of course, there is an analysis section that conveys about the various benefits and issues associated such as economic, social, ethical etc. After then, the report is summarized adding the future scope of AR. This report is very beneficial to those people who wants to do research on AR.

1. Introduction
This main goal of this section is to introduce AR and its types. In addition, it also covers the historical development and events regarding AR. 1.1 What is Augmented Reality?
According to Margeriti (2012), “Augmented Reality is the merging of digital material along with the natural environment”. Generally, augment means to add something. In the same way, Augmented Reality (AR) refers to the technology that offers to add something to the reality. For instance, a real time view of users present surroundings. With the help of AR devices, the users can examine the
