How Augmented Reality Works Fundamentally, AR is based on both software and hardware. Smartphones, tablets, AR glasses, and headsets are the devices that are used to present augmented content. Such devices work with cameras, sensors, GPS, and sophisticated algorithms to comprehend the surroundings and position digital objects in it correctly. This is done in three steps: Environment Detection: The equipment senses and scans the ...
