Augmented reality glasses are a technological device that curiously has not yet achieved the popularity that makes them desired by the general public. This despite its multiple uses, especially in the field of leisure and entertainment. However, it is a device that is worth knowing. It is possible that in the near future they will be as popular as a smartphone or a laptop.
What are augmented reality glasses
These glasses are the device to access augmented reality content. That is, to a vision in which the real elements are mixed with the virtual ones. Through these glasses the person who is using them can access the real vision of the place in front of him but with some virtual elements that only he sees through the augmented reality glasses. In this way he is perceiving two realities at the same time: the tangible and the virtual.
The augmented reality glasses can work in a wireless connection with other technological elements such as a smartphone or a laptop. Thus, what the user views through them can be recorded and stored in a folder on said devices.
Augmented reality glasses Vs. virtual reality glasses
Augmented reality glasses like RealWear AR glasses are not the same as virtual reality glasses. And, in fact, they use incompatible technology with each other.
The main difference between the two is that with the former the user perceives reality, but modified or increased by including virtual elements only visible to him. That is, he brings virtual information to the physical world. And that is what the user sees through his augmented reality glasses.
In the second case, the user is immersed in a completely different reality or world in which there is nothing of what is truly around him. He envisions a virtual reality that has nothing to do with the physical world in which he is located in the meantime.
