Dictionary
Definition: augmented reality
A type of virtual reality that combines real and imagined images in a real-time session. In augmented reality, most of the images are real. For example, Sportvision's 1st and Ten graphics system superimposes a yellow line onto the football field showing TV viewers where the yard line for a first down is located.
Augmented Virtuality
With "augmented virtuality," most of the imagery is computer-generated. For example, using a touch screen, one may be able to design a kitchen or bath by selecting and moving virtual appliances around a digitally created room. See virtual reality.

An indispensable feature in TV football is Sportvision's yellow first-down line, which looks as if it were actually painted on the field. (Image courtesy of Sportvision, Inc., www.sportvision.com)
