Learn what an AR headset is and how it displays digital content layered onto the real world.
An AR Headset is a wearable device that can overlay digital content and experiences into the real world.
AR headsets all have similar hardware that include cameras, depth sensors, and tracking systems to understand the environment. They also have screens that can render digital objects to appear like they are attached to physical surfaces or floating within your space.Â
Based on the device, the view may use optical see-through technology like normal glasses or passthrough video displays.
A construction manager puts on an AR headset like the Apple Vision Pro to walk through a virtual building before it is built. He can see where the columns and beams will appear and can understand the finishes of the marble and wood. This allows him to visualize what the space will look like when it's fully built and save money on construction.
AR headsets are the most immersive form of augmented reality. They enable hands-free experiences and immerse the user fully in their environment with both digital and physical content.
