AR glasses

AR glasses stands for "augmented reality glasses". They are see through display glasses that show virtual content that moves in 3D in the environment that is overlayed upon it.

AR glasses are a type of smart glasses.

In the late 2010s, It was rumored that Apple was going to release AR glasses.

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

Constitution

In devices made in the 2010s, AR glasses typically don't show the image in the whole piece of glass. There is typically a small square in the center that is the actual display. This is the case for the Magic Leap.

AR glasses 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.
