Maybe this is one of those days when everything around you seems dull, grey and depressing. Everything is pretty much the same, you are wearing the same pajamas, your mother cooks the same food as two days ago, and even the same people pass by your house. If this is the case, we have good news: you are not alone! Since many people feel tired of the constancy of their surroundings, some brilliant minds decided to change that. That’s why today we have something we call an augmented reality.

Augmented reality is a ‘live direct or indirect view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented(or supplemented) by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data’. To put in a simple way, that would mean that using a device you can alter the things you see in a way that they would be more exciting for the eye. Or to explain it even in a simpler way, it is something like when you watch a football match on television, you see a part of reality (the football match) occurring somewhere in real time, but the tiny box on your screen where you see the result is the augmented part of the reality you see.

The term augmented reality in the complete opposite of the term virtual reality. Virtual reality exists somewhere in a place you cannot call real, and augmented reality exist in front of your eyes, painting your black and white world with the colours of joy.

So instead of living in a virtual reality, alter the things you know and enjoy. You never know what’s going to wait for you somewhere in a hidden corner in your neighborhood.
