AR can be expressed as positioning models in natural life environments by taking them out of the computer. A well-known and common approach is modeling in the computer environment and making applications. There are various software developed for this purpose. In augmented reality, it is possible to create these models in the same space with life, participate in these models, and intervene. The other connected issue is the excellent value of 3D visualization for the earth sciences because seeing provides a better understanding. In this study, augmented reality applications were implemented using photogrammetric models prepared for quarries and open pit and underground mines located in different world regions to enhance the visualization perception and interaction. Spatial and dimensional unity, an advanced level, and quality in visualization were provided for the models of quarries and mines with the mobile application technique. The applications also contribute to and are samples of the digital transformation concept.}, number={003}, publisher={Kütahya Dumlupinar University}
