Augmented Reality
Augmented Reality (AR) adds graphics, sounds,
haptic feedback and smell to the natural world as
it exists. ... Picture yourself walking or
driving down the street. With augmented-reality
displays, which will eventually look much like a
normal pair of glasses, informative graphics will
appear in your field of view, and audio will
coincide with whatever you see (http//www.howstuf
fworks.com/augmented-reality.htm). Example

Augmented Virtuality
Augmented virtuality (AV) refers to the merging
of real world objects into virtual worlds ...
It refers to predominantly virtual spaces, where
physical elements, e.g. physical objects or
people, are dynamically integrated into, and can
interact with the virtual world in real-time.

Phonetically Augmented Virtuality
Phonetically Augmented Virtuality (PAV) refers to
enhancing a virtual world with phonetic
information in the form of sound files,
text-to-speech synthesis, phonetic transcription,
explanatory text, as well as exercises and tasks
of all kinds. This phonetic information is built
directly into objects in the virtual environment
and can be interactively accessed by the
student's avatar.
