摘要

One of the key advantages of integrating Augmented Reality (AR) with Cloud Computing is the substantial improvement in computational capabilities for mobile devices. AR applications often demand more computational power than what mobile devices can offer. By offloading resource intensive tasks, such as 3D object rendering, feature extraction, and real-time interaction to the cloud, more sophisticated and resource intensive AR applications can be developed and implemented. It is believed that this approach will not only enhance scalability and flexibility but also reduce energy consumption. This paper presents a bibliometric analysis of literature related to augmented reality and cloud computing from the Web of Science (WoS) database, covering the period from 2014 to 2024, to determine advancements in this field. A total of 602 records were collected and analysed using Bibliometrix. The analysis revealed that cloud-based augmented reality is a growing trend, attracting considerable attention within the broad academic community, with China at the forefront of the field and notably international collaboration among authors. In addition, the results of the analysis offer insights and direction for future research by highlighting the current research landscape and identifying areas that scholars can explore.
