The present study has as a methodology a prospective analysis of glasses of augmented or virtual reality considering the patents accessible in the international repositories WIPO, LENS, USPTO, the national patent repository, INPI and works present in the literature related to the subject. Based on the survey, the state of development of this technology was defined, its expectation of evolution for the next years as well as its various applications. This study also looks at the positioning of the major countries that develop such technologies, as well as the emerging companies as the largest patent depositors and the temporal evolution of patent deposits related to augmented or virtual reality glasses. It was discovered through this analysis that this technology has applicability in several branches such as education, entertainment, military and health, it was also verified that the investment in this technology is quite high and that the perspective is that such investment will gradually increase in the next years. Thus, with the one raised in this study it can be seen that augmented / virtual reality glasses are a technology of the future, which has not yet matured and that research is centralized in highly technologically developed countries.
