Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Augmented Reality (AR) are two transformative technologies that have reshaped various sectors, from healthcare to entertainment, education, and beyond. Both are multidisciplinary fields, drawing from areas like computer science, neuroscience, engineering, and cognitive psychology. AR works by utilizing cameras, sensors, and software to analyze the user's surroundings and then display relevant digital information or objects. For example, using AR through a smartphone or wearable device, a user can view virtual information overlaid onto their physical environment, such as directions on a street, interactive elements in a museum exhibit, or educational content on a textbook page.R has found applications in diverse fields, from entertainment, to healthcare, education, and retail. In healthcare, AR can be used to visualize medical scans in 3D, assisting doctors in making more accurate diagnoses. In education, AR enhances interactive learning experiences by presenting dynamic, engaging content.
