Today's life is different to the one that existed not so many years ago. Our everyday life is constantly changing.The use of new technologies play major role in this change. Augmented Reality (AR) is looking to be the 8th mass market to evolve, following print, recordings, cinema, radio, TV, the Internet and mobile. In combination with geo-based technologies, augmented reality provides a completely new way of execution of the everyday activities. This paper presents the basic concepts and key characteristics of these two technologies. Also, the paper presents an example of a use of the technologies in an application meant for students for navigation through the campus of the Faculty.
