Augmented reality is a kind of virtual reality that produces real environment components on a PC and enhances them with virtual data that is, in fact, not a component of it. The augmented reality is a mixture of the real image the user contemplates and the virtual scene that has been created and added by the PC. Hence, it is called augmented reality, i.e., it enhances the real scene with additional elements to improve perception and provide more user interaction.

This meeting provided an opportunity for the lecturers to give students an idea of the theoretical aspects of augmented reality. It also enabled them to use the skills of this technology to allocate a large amount of the meeting time to the practical aspects. The second part of the meeting focused on the basics of building a curriculum vitae for university graduates, with emphasis placed on the things that should be included and the mistakes that a job seeker should avoid making.
