[[Smart glasses]] are [[wearable technology|wearable computing]] devices that resemble conventional [[eyewear]] but feature integrated electronic components that can provide a variety of functions, most prominently [[augmented reality]] (AR) capabilities. Unlike fully immersive [[virtual reality]] (VR) [[headsets]], smart glasses typically overlay digital information onto the user's view of the real world.<ref>Azuma, R., Baillot, Y., Behringer, R., Feiner, S., Julier, S., & MacIntyre, B. (2001). Recent advances in augmented reality. IEEE Computer Graphics and Applications, 21(6), 34-47.</ref> They represent one of the most promising and challenging frontiers in the evolution of [[mixed reality]] technologies.
