Herewith the ESO VLT adaptive optics program is introduced. This program includes several activities and projects such as the ADONIS project, COMIC and SHARP II cameras, a data reduction package dedicated to AO observations, the low noise fast readout CCD camera development for wavefront sensor, the quad cell avalanche photo diodes development. One of the main projects is currently the Nasmyth adaptive optics system (NAOS). The high level requirements and conceptual design of NAOS for Unit Telescope 1 of the very large telescope project are described. An introduction to the laser guide star program at ESO is also presented.
