The Sport Applications and Implementations of Augmented Reality(AR) Technologies

Abstract

New generation digital technologies are being applied in new areas every day. Augmented Reality (AR) technology is already being actively used in many different sectors from healthcare to art and education. Recently, studies about AR technologies supported by Artificial Intelligence (AI) were detected. In this study, AR technologies used in sports were studied and research was carried out on the steps of implementation and application with Unity software and briefly demonstrated. In addition, the first AR applications in sports were analysed and information about their development processes was given. Then, AR development software development kits are explained. In addition, some researches in the literature about athletes and AR applications are also mentioned in this study. Information was also given about Unity Mars, a special application development software for AR, which will be published in the following years.
