My first encounter with augmented reality consisted of watching a video of people apparently hanging out next to a large sasquatch dancing on a piece of cardboard, much like old school break dancers used to do back in the 80’s.

Upon looking into the strange yet intriguing matter, I learned that what I had seen was something called "augmented reality" which is a “…method of blending digital data with the physical world.” Lately the phenomenon has gained enough legitimacy as a new form of digital entertainment that I found myself reading multiple articles about it in mainstream publications such as BusinessWeek. For those who are unfamiliar with augmented reality, I figured an introduction of the various ways in which people are using it was in order. Take a look.
