Augmented reality is a promising tool, which opens great opportunities for visualization. In the article a brief description of the augmented reality technology and an overview of some aspects of its application are given. The possibilities of using the augmented reality technology in teaching physics are described. An example of a developed application with the elements of augmented reality to study the phenomena of optics is presented. A free implementation of the library NyARToolkit and Unity 3D game engine were used for the project development. The results of the survey, test and interview conducted among the students before and after using the application clearly demonstrate its positive influence on the education process. It is shown that the developed application with augmented reality technology is effective and practically useful as an educational tool, especially in studying natural sciences.
