讓你不當低頭族，抬頭看世界 !
你早就在用智慧型手機，對智能手錶也不陌生，而且還聽過、甚至可能已經體驗過VR虛擬現實。
不過，你知道什麼是智能眼鏡以及AR擴增實境嗎?
專家預測，在二O二一年底前，科技巨頭蘋果、臉書、谷歌將聯手亞馬遜一同將智能眼鏡商業化。
而透過這些相關裝置，AR將可望成為我們日常生活的一部分。
AR不是VR你是否曾戴過VR裝置，然後發現自己身處電腦生的視覺環境中，就像電影《一級玩家》一樣?
AR與VR不同，不會以人造世界取代真實生活；反之，AR會藉由在我們視線範圍內顯示電腦產出之資訊來增加真實世界的活動。
但是，AR眼鏡不是只能將影像投放在鏡片上；AR裝置還可「看見」諸如我們的速度、位置、生物數據，甚至是情緒狀態之類的資料。
這將使得醫生、患者、教練、運動員、教育工作者、學生、廣告商和消費者能夠方便索取暨接收各種有值的即時資料。
舉例來說，像《鋼鐵人》這類電影，便展示了AR技術如何回應言語及手勢、監控使用者健康狀況，以及回報使用者生理機能的重要變化。
