Abstract

The term “augmented reality” refers to a technology that combines digital and actual experiences. It is an immersive experience of a physical environment in which actual objects are enhanced with digital visual features, sound, or other sensory stimuli. The rapid advancement of augmented reality has piqued people’s interest in recent years. It is a rapidly developing area among businesses that deal with mobile computing and commercial apps. Using AR, digital information can be placed in reality to improve a human’s perspective of reality. This paper begins by defining augmented reality, its history, and its challenges. The paper then discusses some essential technology, development tools, and augmented reality applications in several industries. The main focus point of the paper is centered around the discussion on EDGE Technology as a solution to the limitations of AR. We have drawn a comparison between some frameworks that have been developed over time, merging AR with EDGE. Finally, it anticipates future advancements in augmented reality technologies, such as the Mobile AR.
