VR (virtual reality) and AR (augmented reality) glasses refer to smart glasses that bridge the gap between the physical and digital worlds. AR glasses assist in changing images or modifying views of the real world while assisting users with everyday tasks and allowing them to express themselves more effectively. In contrast, VR glasses provide an immersive virtual experience, thus allowing users to feel the experience of being in an actual location. With AR and VR glasses, wearers can record still images, videos, and audio remotely, share their point of view in real-time, access information hands-free, exchange data, and augment their real world. Additionally, users can analyze information relevant to their surroundings through these glasses. As a result, AR and VR smart glasses can enhance and even replace existing technology solutions within enterprise supply chains, thereby enhancing workplace efficiency, productivity, and compliance.

AR and VR Smart Glasses Market Trends:
The market is majorly driven by the widespread adoption of AR and VR technology in numerous end-use industries, including e-commerce, healthcare, military and defense, and education.
