By overlaying computer-generated images and data on the physical environment, augmented reality (AR) technology enhances the user’s perception of the outside world. This can be accomplished with a variety of devices, including smartphones, tablets and specialised AR headsets.
AR poses some privacy risks, such as the collection of data. AR applications and devices frequently gather a variety of data, including location, images and audio, which could be used to identify people or follow their movements. Without the user’s knowledge or permission, this data may be kept and used for marketing or other purposes. Physical surveillance is a concern because AR devices with cameras or sensors could be used to track people’s whereabouts and potentially violate their privacy rights.
