A Reference for Common Augmented Reality Terminology
The AREA members and staff have compiled the following list of key Augmented Reality terms and their definitions to help enterprises understand what distinguishes AR from other technologies. Our goal is to provide a helpful reference for anyone at any level who is learning about AR-specific tools and concepts.

2D Image Tracking is a tracking technique based on using a two-dimensional image to represent a real object to be augmented. Because 2D images require less processing power to capture and manipulate than 3D objects, they may be more appropriate for AR applications that do not demand depth.
Organizations of all sizes are tapping into the potential of rapidly expanding and converging AR fields and communication channels to visualize data and instructions overlaying digital assets in the real world in real time.
