Abstract

Virtual and augmented reality (VR / AR) applications have successfully overcome the critical part of the Gartner curve. Investments are made and new products entering the economy. However, a very small percentage of society have also heard about AR glasses, mainly linking these with potential identity threats and personal data breaches. The authors dealt with the design of application of AR to improve golf skills by improving the putting technique. The above solution is complicated by requiring complex object recognition, tracking and advanced AR software designing.
