location-based AR
Location-based augmented reality (AR) enhances real-world environments by overlaying digital information that is tied to specific geographic locations. Using your device's GPS, compass, and motion sensors, the AR system recognizes where you are and what you're looking at, then adds relevant digital content—such as labels, images, or 3D models—aligned with real-world objects. This creates an interactive experience where digital data dynamically responds to your position and orientation, often used in navigation, tourism, gaming, and education to provide contextually relevant information directly within the physical environment.
