What Is Augmented Reality?

To start off simple it is important to clarify what augmented reality is. Augmented reality enhances what is already present. It is important to distinguish between AR and VR or Virtual Reality. Face altering filters on social media platforms are examples of Augmented Reality as they involve altering or enhancing the faces of people. Virtual Reality on the other hand creates an entirely new virtual environment around you.

 

Who Are the Companies Using Augmented Reality?

In today’s world, many companies have used Augmented Reality for marketing as well as mobile app purposes. Companies like Google, Amazon and IKEA have jumped on the trend and more will soon follow. Renowned pool development company in the US; Latham Pools, has created an AR mobile app that allows you to see what a pool would look like in your garden, instead of having to guess the outcome beforehand. Some online outlets allow you to place virtual art on your walls instead of having to buy them first, this saves you time and most importantly, money!

What Does the Future of AR Look Like?

With more and more companies developing Augmented Reality mobile apps, the future is looking very bright.
