Augmented Reality (AR) is digital data that superimposes a user’s view of real-world objects. It is technology that enhances the things that we see, hear and feel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spending on Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality will reach $160 billion by 2023, according to estimates by IDC<\/a>. Production of AR headsets is increasing 141 percent annual, and is expected to reach 32 million units in 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marcus Torchia<\/a>, IDC\u2019s research director for Customer Insights & Analysis , said that<\/a> “augmented reality is gaining share in the commercial market due to its ability to facilitate tasks, provide access to resources, and solve complex problems.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just a few examples of AR applications<\/a> include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Healthcare <\/strong>– Visualization assistance for physicians in surgeries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

People with disabilities <\/strong>– Translation of environmental data. Visual information can be converted to audio, or audio can be converted to visual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Educational <\/strong>– Students can visualize and interact with objects to understand the topics that they’re studying.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Equipment Maintenance and Repair<\/strong> – Augmented visuals to help diagnose and then explain the step-by-step repair of equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Museums <\/strong>– Artwork will be augmented to enhance the experience of the museum visitors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mike Elgan<\/a>, journalist for InsiderPro, writes that<\/a> “as the prices come down, the dam will burst and AR will become a runaway platform just like smartphones were 10 years ago.”<\/p>\n
