Virtual technologies (virtual reality, augmented reality and hologram) were started to be used in many areas of life, along with the widespread use of mobile tools. The use of augmented reality in medicine, which is a method based on the perception of digital visual content as in real life, is also increasing. In this article, current and possible applications of augmented reality technology in academic life, medicine and pediatric surgery were evaluated and examples for practical applications were given.
