AR - augmented reality - a live direct or indirect view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented (or supplemented) by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data (read more at Wikipedia).

Practice patience and timing within your social media strategy and scheduling. The heart-warming video or gorgeous graphic that was just delivered may need to wait a few minutes or hours before sending it out to your followers.
