Augmented Reality (AR) is a digital environment in which real-life objects and environments are joined by superimposing digital information on top of them. It refers to the use of software, applications, and hardware like AR glasses to augment the physical world through superposition of digital content with real objects. Another significant aspect of manufacturing and Industry 4.0 processes is AR, which enables industrial users to have close contact with systems and machinery, thereby utilizing human ingenuity, observation, and creativity to overlay technology and IoT networks. AR enables creating a 3D experience that seamlessly binds physical and digital realms, and the interaction between these two domains is possible. However, what AR makes true is its integration within the Industry 4.0 ecosystem, tying together all the elements from big data to automated robotics to bring a comprehensive operational enhancement and innovation.
