By now, you've likely encountered the concept of augmented reality, especially if you're a sports enthusiast watching games on TV. Those seemingly routine lines on the field during a crucial 4th and 1 situation? That's augmented reality (AR) at work, enhancing the visual experience with informative overlays.
