Augmented Reality (Augmented Reality, referred to as AR for short) is one of the research hotspots of many renowned foreign universities and research institutions in recent years. AR technology has a wide range of applications not only in similar application fields to VR technology, such as research and development on sophisticated weaponry and aircraft, visualization of data model, virtual training, entertainment and arts and other fields, but also in medical research and anatomy training, manufacturing and maintenance of precision equipment, navigation of military aircraft, engineering design and remote control on robot and other areas. Besides, because of its characteristic enhancing the display output of real environment, it has more pronounced advantages than VR technology in those latter areas. Interactive games based on AR technology are games of developmental direction in the future. It can unite virtual and reality, which can bring sense of deeper immersion to the players, thus greatly increasing the interest and attraction of game. Such games used in the field of education, compared to the traditional gaming species, will greatly enhance the player's memory, which can better achieve the entertaining and educational effect.
