carefully. Respond to each question in the order listed, and number each example.

Research Requirements

Augmented Reality (AR) and Mixed Reality (MR)

Write a thorough definition of AR  (1/4 page).

Write a thorough explanation of MR  (1/4 page).

Provide examples of how AR / MR technologies are currently being used in each of the following 3 categories*:Category 1: Communication, Education & Training; Category 2: Research & Visualization (including architecture); Category 3: Healthcare.*Include 2 examples from each or the 3 categories for a total of 6 examples (1/2 page each).Note: There may be overlap, such as an educational app to train healthcare workers. That is fine, provided they are different examples. 

Number each example.

Include an image with each example.

Include link to the source with each example.
