=== Augmented reality ===

[[Augmented reality]] overlays digital content or output onto the real world using media such as audio, animation, and text. Augmented reality became widely popular only in the 21st century; however, some of the earlier versions of such were things like the [[Sega Genesis]] Activator Controller back in 1992, which allowed users to literally stand in an octagon and control in-game movement with physical movement, or to stretch back even further, the [[R.O.B.]] NES Robot back in 1984, which, with its array of accessories, was able to also provide users with the sensation of holding a firearm. These multimedia input devices are among the earliest of the augmented reality devices, allowing users to input commands to facilitate a different user experience. A more modern example of augmented reality is [[Pokémon GO]], a [[mobile game]] released on July 6, 2016, which allows users to see a Pokémon in a real-world environment.
