Introduction

Augmented reality (AR) is a display mechanism that combines real- and virtual-world contents onto a single screen (Billinghurst et al., 2015). By definition, real world contents exist in the physical world of the user, while virtual world contents are computer-generated. These can take the form of simple text and data or complex 3-D animations and objects. The combination of contents can modify the user’s natural vision, supplementing the real world with various holographic elements. Rapid development in hardware and software technology over the past decades has made AR a versatile and useful tool in many...
