augmented reality

augmented reality
n.
A view in which a computer superimposes images onto the user's field of vision.
Example Citation:
"In Boeing's augmented-reality system, a factory worker would be equipped with a wearable computer, a see-through, head-mounted display and a position sensor. By entering the appropriate commands in the computer, the worker could call up information, diagrams, text or both about the part to be assembled. The head-mounted display would project the information onto the work surface as if it were painted there. This eliminates pawing through thick manuals to find the right page, and it does away with the need to continually look back and forth between the diagram and the actual job."
