Augmented reality (AR) is an interaction of the real-world environment and existing objects with digital models by imposition in real-time.

 If explained in an easy language it gives you a feeling of the real environment as well as the virtual too because it imposes features and objects in the real environment which gives you both experiences.

If explained with an example when you use an AR software and open a camera all the objects in the image are in the real world but you use a virtual element in that image, an outcome in the form of video or image is generated in which virtual and real elements are present.

The best AR software is SparkAR etc.
