•the AR technology involves the exhibit and manipulation of 2D and 3D objects. The real images or 3D and the text of AR application appear on the computer screen when the camera device installs the software by capturing the marker through Radio Frequency Identification (RFID)•Augmented Reality has various levels of application. •It is fundamentally an engaging technological process of combining live video with computer-generated data and visualizations at one level. •At another, it is using technology to import computerized graphics against a real environment background.

1.Comparison of AR and VR•From 2009 AR has become a more common topic in both search volume index terms and news reference volume than VR. •This result seems to reflect the ubiquitous growth of mobile technology as well as featured camera technology and the ease of touch screen mobile phones with Global Positioning System (GPS) such as the iPhone and Android phones as the main factors in the development of AR projects. •AR will be widely used for educational purposes within 2-3 years as reported by the 2010 Horizon Report, an annual report on modern learning and teaching technologies.

Level Zero - Physical World Hyperlinking (2 0f 2)

• 2Dimensionals Quick Response-codes (QR-codes) which was a specific matrix barcode , readable by dedicated QR barcode readers and camera phones, and the last of this group – 2Dimensionals image recognition which is popular on mobile applications to recognize a company logo or film poster .

Level One - Marker based Augmented Reality (1 of 2)

• The marker based AR is the most exciting innovation for an amateur user.

• The cooler marker was a 3D recognition when the camera captured the recognized physical objects such as an apple.

Level Two - Markerless Augmented Reality

• Markerless Augmented Reality is almost at the peak of inflated expectations; it has started in 2010. The main factor driving the popularity of markerless AR was GPS and its compass which is common in smart phones.

Level Three - Augmented Vision• The lens used sensors and wireless

technology to allow bionic eyesight. People who wore this AR contact lens were able to monitor their heart by making use of tiny circuits and Light-Emitting Diode (LEDs) [16].
