Abstract	The integration of Digital Twin technology with Augmented Reality (AR) is rapidly transforming industries by bridging the gap between the physical and digital worlds. This chapter explores the evolution of virtual tools and their role in creating and managing Digital Twins, which serve as dynamic, real-time replicas of physical entities. The chapter delves into the distinctions between AR, VR, and Mixed Reality (MR), and their applications across various industries such as manufacturing, healthcare, and smart cities. Through case studies and practical examples, the chapter illustrates how AR enhances real-world experiences by overlaying digital information onto physical environments, leading to improved decision-making, efficiency, and innovation. Additionally, the chapter addresses the technical and ethical challenges of combining AR with Digital Twin technology, such as data integration, scalability, security, and privacy concerns. It also highlights the opportunities for innovation in sectors like automotive, aerospace, and healthcare, and discusses future trends that will shape the continued evolution of these technologies. The chapter concludes by emphasizing the transformative potential of AR and Digital Twin technology in revolutionizing industry practices and driving sustainable innovation. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2025.
