For a long time, augmented reality sounded like a technology from a SciFi Movie. Meanwhile, it became a real thing and made new kinds of entertainment and media possible by providing an innovative way of mixing the virtual and the real word. The available apps range from interactive maps to multiplayer games and are produced by big companies and smaller developers. But whether a premium app or freeware, the software is always for using with a smartphone and camera to give the user a new view of reality. Due to the big number and diversity of AR apps, we had a look if the Top 10 apps are worth downloading onto your device.
Layar
Print goes interactive media! Layar is designed to bring print content into the virtual world, just by scanning it. Once the source is scanned, the augmented reality app can provide direct links to particular products or bring up videos in a few seconds. Furthermore, the app includes tools for sharing the content on social media platforms.

Google Translate
It’s not a 100 percent augmented reality app, but uses the same technology. You can make a photo of a text and google translates it in real time. With a wi-fi Connection you have access to 13 languages at the moment – more to come. But you can also download a number of language packs to use the app all the way offline.
Wikitude Wold Browser
The next generation of browsers is here. While using the camera in an area the browser provides you with all relevant information from useful background articles on Wikipedia, direction to the next ATM location, or the best restaurants at place. Also you can find hotels and accommodations trough Yelp, TripAdvisor, and other services. All in all a really good travel assistance.
Augmented Car Finder
One of the most useful augmented reality apps ever created. This is specifically designed to help guide you back to your car. Notably in crowed areas like stadiums, convention enters, outdoor concert venues and other massive parking lots. Once the position of your vehicle is set, the app creates a marker showing the location, the distance and direction to it.
Air Measure

Pokémon Go
The probably most known AR app worldwide. The game quickly became viral and was all over the media.
