How can augmented reality actually become useful in the future?

January 4, 2023 by Swathi Kirthyvasan

Augmented reality (AR) has the potential to become increasingly useful in a variety of applications in the future. Some examples of how AR could be used include:

 

  1. Education: AR technology can be used to create interactive educational experiences, allowing students to learn by interacting with virtual objects and information in the real world.
  2. Retail: AR can be used to enhance the shopping experience by allowing customers to virtually try on clothes, see how furniture will look in their homes, and visualize products in their spaces before purchasing.
  3. Healthcare: AR can be used to assist with surgical procedures by providing real-time guidance and information to surgeons, as well as to help patients visualize and better understand their diagnoses and treatment plans.
  4. Manufacturing: AR can be used to provide workers with real-time instructions and information while on the job, increasing efficiency and reducing the risk of errors.
  5. Entertainment: AR can be used to create immersive and interactive entertainment experiences, such as games and events.
  6. Transportation: AR can be used to assist with navigation and wayfinding, as well as to provide real-time information about traffic and other conditions.
  7. Military: AR can be used to assist with training and mission planning, as well as to provide real-time information and situational awareness to soldiers in the field.
Overall, the use of AR technology is expected to expand and become more widespread as the technology continues to advance and become more widely available.
