Reality, Augmented

A form of reality that is typically diminished by the addition of digital imagery overlaid on a screen showing a real environment.

Augmented reality, or AR, is typically most effective when no one pays any attention to the technological wizardry. For example, the digitally superimposed first down marketer during televised American football games is a form of augmented reality that makes games more watchable and enjoyable.

When Snapchat turns you into a dancing hot dog, that is also AR at its finest.
