A transparent head-mounted display, the main component of AR glasses. This is a development kit from Lumus.

Augmented reality glasses (AR glasses) are electronic eyewear that show virtual 3D objects in the real world to the viewer. Typically they are optical-see-through.

AR glasses require a display such as an optical see-through display, a 3D tracking system such as an ultrasonic tracking system, and a connected computer system.

AR glasses are great if they have a wide field of view and a wide range of focus. AR glasses are only OK if the display takes up the entire piece of glass per eye.

The content shown on AR glasses is aligned in 3D to a coordinate system originating in the real world in euclidean space.

An example of the type of application that can be shown through AR glasses

It was rumored that Apple was going to release AR glasses.

Augmented reality glasses are a type of AR headset that is compact and has its weight resting on the ears and nose.

Constitution[edit]

AR glasses that solve the vergence-accommodation conflict require light field displays or holographic displays.

AR glasses are most useful when they are completely standalone. AR glasses can be wired into a separate computer, or they can have data wirelessly transmitted to them for rendering. However, using a separate unit connected to the glasses increases the complexity of using them.
