Wonderland is self-described as primitive in terms of development, but given that it was only launched in June it&#8217;s quite impressive and full of potential. What&#8217;s most [...]]]></description>

Unlike virtual reality which is designed to simulate a physical  place, augmented reality uses technology to add information to a real place or object with goal of making it more meaningful and useful.

It describes the future shaped by virtual and 3D technologies.
