Abstract: One of the recent techniques
Augmented Reality (AR), new technology
which is capable of presenting possibilities
that are difficult for other technologies to
offer and meet. Nowadays, numerous
augmented reality applications have been
used in the industry of different kinds and
disseminated all over the world. AR will
really alter the way individuals view the
world. The AR is yet in its initial phases of
research and development at different
colleges and high-tech institutes. It is also
be termed as a mixed reality, composing
new virtual components over the existing
world to demo the actual proposed
experience. Thus AR provides chances for
optimizing the real world opportunities
unlike VR, Virtual Reality is a complete
comprehensive imagery and does not
overlay on real world at all.

CONCLUSION:
This paper proposes augmented reality and
its application which will help to combine
virtual object with the real environment
facilitating various applications as
mentioned in this paper. The main advantage
is the use of low cost devices as compared to
costly head mounted display devices. In
future, images of object from various views
can be fetched directly from vendor’s
websites; same could be modeled into 3D
objects and augmented.
