Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Introduction: augmented reality (AR) technologies provide immersive and enriched experiences. In the context of software development, these technologies can enhance interactivity, improve the visualization of software under development, and positively impact usability, productivity, and user experience.
Objective: the aim of this study is to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the application of augmented reality technologies in software development processes.
Methodology: the methodology involved searching for articles related to the topic in the Scopus search engine. The Bibliometrix tool was then applied to perform the bibliometric analysis.
Results: the results highlight the most relevant works based on an analysis of sources, authors, documents, and collaboration networks.
Conclusions: the bibliometric analysis provides a comprehensive view of research on the use of augmented reality in software development, highlighting key trends, influential authors, and emerging areas of interest.
