- イ
正解 Augmented reality (AR) is a technology that superimposes computer-generated information such as text, images, and 3D models onto real scenery like camera footage that captures the real environment. Its defining feature is that it augments reality with information; a typical example is an app in which, when you hold up a smartphone, guidance appears floating above an actual store. Choice イ is exactly this definition itself, so it is correct.
Incorrectウ
Analyzing human speech, digitizing it, and using it for issuing commands or inputting text describes speech recognition, which is different from AR.
Incorrectエ
