AR makes that cockpit or cabin feel real to the gamer and helps improve their real-life abilities in a safe environment. Similarly, it can help soldiers, drivers, and students to enhance their skills. So along with entertaining, AR games are proving to be a great learning tool as well. Augmented reality technology takes a real-world environment and adds a computer-generated input to it. The real-world and the augmented environments can then interact together and be digitally manipulated. As augmented reality technology matures, the number of applications continues to grow and can influence our shopping, entertainment, work and more.    Ethical concerns that designers should consider when developing VR/AR products include physical, psychological, moral, and social concerns.
