What's the difference between "augment" and "enhance"?
I know there is a technology called "Augmented Reality"(AR), which enhances the influences of technology(I don't know if I use it the right way)
So any differences and examples for these two words?

Enhance means to improve the quality, amount, or strength of something:

Augment means to increase the size, amount, or value of something:

That's a good question. I had to think about it.
I think that 'augment' means more add to, whereas 'enhance' means improve. But obviously to improve something, you usually have to add something to it, so they can often be used interchangeably.
