Recently, when Play Shifu team contacted me for review I learned about the concept of Augmented Reality .
Lets First understand the concept behind Play Shifu - Augmented Reality:
Augmented Reality features were first discovered in 1990 to give an interface between real life and cyber world. Augmented Reality bridge computer-generated sensory inputs and supplement it live direct and indirect view in the Real world. So, In short, it gives you a real time 3 D image and video to make it user-friendly and user interactive. There are many other examples exist Like Play Shifu which is based on Augmented Reality they are PokemonG, ZombieGo, and Ingress.
