New Project - augmented reality

For this module we have been asked to design an example of Augmented Reality. So what is it?

"Augmented reality (AR) is a term for a live direct or indirect view of a physical real-world environment whose elements are merged with (or augmented by) virtual computer-generated imagery - creating a mixed reality. The augmentation is conventionally in real-time and in semantic context with environmental elements, such as sports scores on TV during a match. With the help of advanced AR technology (e.g. adding computer vision and object recognition) the information about the surrounding real world of the user becomes interactive and digitally usable. Artificial information about the environment and the objects in it can be stored and retrieved as an information layer on top of the real world view." - Wikipedia

I think that a good idea for this project would be a app or game for the Nintendo Wii.
I'd like to make it in a similar way to the "yellow "first down" lines seen in television broadcasts of sports games, and the colored trail showing location and direction of the puck in TV broadcasts of hockey games." Wikipedia
This could be for example, in the form of an animal that needs caring for.
