With the border between imagination and the real world, a completely different experience is created. Thanks to augmented reality, it is possible to be a part of this experience. AR technology is changing the way you work, learn, play, shop and connect with the world around you. While Apple has many AR-enabled devices, they also have the world's largest AR platform, with thousands of AR apps on the App Store.

The idea that AR glasses will replace mobile phones for the near future gained more strength with the introduction of Apple AR in June 2023. AR glasses will have artificial intelligence embedded inside and are expected to provide a unique augmented reality experience that people can use in daily life. It is seen that different new actions come into play in this virtual reality world, using sound or neural interfaces, instead of texts or touchpads. These AI-embedded AR glasses have a wider range of goals than just calculating the calories of a food or giving you the closest directions.

The three S's of augmented reality stand out. Sight, Smell and Sound. For the actions that have been configured, primarily images reflected from a screen are created. The image on this screen is one of the important senses in people's worlds of perception. The sense of smell allows to complete the missing points from the objects and actions we see and hear and to have a more defined augmented reality experience. The sound feature takes a stance that supports the experience with the sense of sound for the users who have a visual experience.

It is foreseen by many people that with AR glasses, places will be used more frequently in matters related to the past or the fictional future, especially regarding their visual impressions. Users walking around in a historical urban fabric with AR glasses will be able to get impressions of how their place looked in the past. In addition, a design change to be made in terms of architecture will be easily experienced primarily through these augmented reality-based applications and glasses. For example, this design can be seen as the electrical installation of a newly built house or as a new kitchen design.

Introduced in June 2023, the Apple Vision Pro glasses differ in some aspects from the glasses designed before. Since the battery is carried in the pocket, the amount of load that users carry on their heads is quite low for a product with this performance. The first products of Apple to add a 3D camera are the Apple Vision Pro. Spatial photos and videos can be taken with this camera. These recorded videos and photos then make users feel like they are in the moment again. Users can edit the desktop screen, join FaceTime calls, spend time on their favorite social media apps, watch their favorite TV shows and more with the Apple Vision Pro PC model.

Users using Apple Vision Pro can project their gaze behind the glasses onto the screen. In the inner part of the glasses, there are sensors and tiny cameras that follow the movements of the eye. In this way, the glasses prevent the users from completely breaking the communication with the other people. This innovation keeps a very different perspective in terms of giving a different perspective to other companies for augmented eyeglasses.

The production of wearable technology, how it will progress as a sector, how businesses will act to increase their interaction with the world, how designs will be released will continue to be among the main topics that wearable technology enthusiasts will follow.
