AR glasses are like fancy sunglasses that add digital info to what you see in the real world. Imagine seeing stuff like weather or restaurant reviews floating next to buildings. They use tiny projectors and mirrors to create these images. Right now, they’re mostly for gaming and some professional uses, but companies like Google and Apple are working on making them more popular. In the future, AR glasses could be like having a personal assistant or translator right in front of your eyes. Pretty cool, huh?

Imagine glasses that add digital stuff to the real world you see. That’s augmented reality (AR) glasses! They use fancy tech to blend what you see with computer-generated images, creating an exciting, mixed-up reality experience.

AR glasses use waveguide display tech. This tech guides light through a clear material surface to create images.

I’ve noticed that a lot of AR glasses these days use waveguide display technologies. This means that they guide light through a transparent material to create an image. I’ve found a number of great resources that delve into the inner workings of the technology.

Smart glasses, or augmented reality (AR) glasses, are wearable gadgets that project virtual objects and digital data onto the outside world. They produce an immersive augmented reality experience by fusing components of both software and hardware.
