Augmented Reality and the future of digital perception.
You might have heard of virtual reality, but have you ever heard of augmented reality? Maybe not, but by the end of this article you’ll get some idea about what AR (augmented reality) is and how it’s shaping the future.
Virtual reality enhanced the digital perceptions and proved that something as interesting as a game could be perceived in a totally different way with a cheap virtual reality headset.
but augmented reality is a bit different and it’s advanced as well.
Augmented Reality
Augmented reality is nothing but perceiving something which doesn’t even exist, with the help of a device like your smartphone or an AR headset. You might have heard of a very famous game called Pokemon Go, which uses the AR concept to show Pikachu in your kitchen (but it actually doesn’t exist).
The best thing about augmented reality is it’s futuristic concept and the possibilities of practical uses. Companies are already trying out augmented reality to design home interiors, doctors are using augmented reality before conducting operations and professionals are using it to build efficient designs.
It’s expensive, but it saves a lot of money at the same time. Implementing augmented reality is expensive because of the technology and the man hours to develop the AR concepts, but in future the expense will go down as more and more developers and designers starts to improve the efficiency. Rather than spending money on physical prototypes, companies are using augmented reality to build the design (they save a lot of money).
Just like that!
So where’s this heading to?
Nobody knows, because different industries are making use of augmented reality in their own way. The interior designing industry is making the best of it by showing their customers how their house is gonna look like after the project. Product manufacturers and designers are making use of augmented reality to design prototypes (which definitely saves a lot of money).
Augmented reality and virtual reality will surely play a very important role in building new products. It’s surely going to rule the prototyping industry and many other industries as well, in the days to come.
