A technology that overlays digital content (such as images, sounds, or information) onto the real world through devices like smartphones or AR glasses. AR enhances, rather than replaces, the real environment with interactive elements.

AR merges physical and digital realities, offering new possibilities for interaction. When AR development is led by intersectional communities that experience oppression, it can be designed to reflect a wider range of experiences and challenge exclusionary practices in both physical and virtual environments.
