Augmented Reality, or AR, is a technology that enables us to view the world from a different perspective. It provides us with the ability to modify or add virtual elements or information to our view of the world. It has the ability to enhance our day-to-day lives by allowing us to merge the physical and digital worlds.
The best way to get a better sense of AR is to compare it to virtual reality. While virtual reality completely replaces your view of the real world with a virtual world, augmented reality simply adds elements and information to your existing environment.
AR glasses are an example of how far technology has progressed. These wearables are typically connected to a mobile device, allowing them to project an interactive layer onto what we see with our own eyes. They provide us with personalized information, data, and visuals depending on our current location, shopping habits, interests, and more.
Apple is one of the leading tech giants in the world known for its revolutionary products and technology. The latest news from the company which has been making headlines lately is the launch of its first augmented reality (AR) glasses which were slated to be launched by this year, but the launch has been postponed due to technical challenges. Apple is now focusing to launch a mixed-reality headset in 2024 or later. The postponement of the much-anticipated launch has come as a surprise to many as Apple had previously launched several different devices such as the Apple Pencil, and AirPods, without any delay.
