16. Apps, AR and ARGs

17. AR
Augmented Reality blends virtual content over a
real world environment via computer-generated
sensory input through a GPS-enabled application
that features sound, video or graphics.
It may use a lens or a magic mirror approach to
display the virtual content through a camera or
mobile device onto the physical environment.
Some apps may use GPS and geo-location data.

18. ARG
An alternate reality game (ARG) is an
interactive narrative that uses the real
world as a platform and uses transmedia
storytelling to deliver a story that may be
altered by participants' ideas or actions.
Participants interact with the game clues,
receive messages and have a personal
experience that blurs the lines between the
real world and the game environment.
