Original Abstract Submitted

A method and a device capable of supporting various display methods using an electronic device and/or glasses-type wearable electronic device (e.g., AR glasses) in an augmented reality (AR) are provided. An AR providing device for AR services includes a display and a processor. The processor is configured to provide content through an AR screen, detect a specified external object through the AR screen while providing the content, determine a display mode for providing the content, based on detection of the specified external object, control to display the content through a display of the specified external object, based on the determined display mode, and perform control to display the content through a virtual display area associated with the specified external object on the AR screen, based on the determined display mode.
