Editing Augmented reality (section)

===Visual art===
AR applied in the visual arts allows objects or places to trigger artistic multidimensional experiences and interpretations of reality.

The Australian new media artist [[Jeffrey Shaw]] pioneered Augmented Reality in three artworks: ''Viewpoint'' in 1975, ''Virtual Sculptures'' in 1987 and ''The Golden Calf'' in 1993.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Duguet |first=Anne-Marie |title=Jeffrey Shaw, Future Cinema.

Manifest.AR was an international artists' collective founded in 2010 that specialized in augmented reality (AR) art and interventions. The collective typically created site-specific AR installations that could be viewed through mobile devices using custom-developed applications. Their work often placed virtual artworks in spaces without institutional permission. The collective gained prominence in 2010 when they staged an unauthorized virtual exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMA) in New York City, overlaying their digital artworks throughout the museum's spaces using AR technology. The collective's unauthorized AR intervention at MoMA involved placing virtual artworks throughout the museum's spaces, viewable through mobile devices. The group published their "AR Art Manifesto" in 2011, which outlined their artistic philosophy and approach to augmented reality as a medium. The manifesto emphasized the democratic potential of AR technology and its ability to challenge traditional institutional control over public space and art display.<ref>Freeman, John Craig.

Leonardo Electronic Almanac, Vol. 19, No. 1, 2013.</ref> Manifest.AR has been influential in: Pioneering artistic applications of AR technology; Developing new forms of institutional critique; Expanding concepts of public art and digital space; and Influencing subsequent generations of new media artists. Their work has been documented and discussed in various publications about digital art and new media, and has influenced contemporary discussions about virtual and augmented reality in artistic practice.<ref>Paul, Christiane.

Augmented reality can aid in the progression of visual art in museums by allowing museum visitors to view artwork in galleries in a multidimensional way through their phone screens.<ref>{{Cite journal|last1=tom Dieck|first1=M.

AR technology aided the development of [[eye tracking]] technology to translate a disabled person's eye movements into drawings on a screen.<ref>{{cite magazine |title=The 50 Best Inventions of 2010 - EyeWriter|url=http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,2029497_2030618_2029822,00.html |magazine=Time |access-date=26 March 2024|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101114075903/http://www.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,2029497_2030618_2029822,00.html|archive-date=2010-11-14|date=11 November 2010|last=Webley|first=Kayla}}</ref>

A Danish artist, [[Olafur Eliasson]], has placed objects like burning suns, extraterrestrial rocks, and rare animals, into the user's environment.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.dezeen.com/2020/05/14/olafur-eliasson-augmented-reality-wunderkammer/|title=Olafur Eliasson creates augmented-reality cabinet of curiosities|date=14 May 2020|language=en-US|access-date=2020-05-17}}</ref> [[Martin & Muñoz]] started using Augmented Reality (AR) technology in 2020 to create and place virtual works, based on their snow globes, in their exhibitions and in user's environments.
