Augmented Reality Presents Incredible Opportunities

Immersive technologies offer new opportunities for a vast number of businesses. Among the leading technologies is augmented reality (AR) – an advanced technology that blends real-world surroundings with digitally enhanced graphics in real-time. In short, AR provides users with an interactive experience of the real-world through a smartphone or tablet. Businesses can use AR applications to educate consumers and employees about your products, engage customers with a meaningful shopping experience and create lasting connections.

Studies have shown that AR applications that convincingly imitate a direct product experience can make a significant impact on consumer intent and purchasing decisions. AR also has tangible benefits for visualising product development in the very early stages of the design process. The capacity to conceptualise products in high fidelity makes the development process far easier, eliminates risks and dramatically lowers the level of investment.

How Do Augmented Reality Applications Work?

AR applications fulfil three basic features: a combination of real and virtual worlds, real-time interaction and an accurate 3D reiteration of virtual and real objects. There are various ways companies can deploy AR:

  • Superimpose computer-generated objects over a real-world environment
  • Recreate the real-world with digitally enhanced graphics and create an interactive experience
  • Detect real-world objects with a device and provide more information for customers
  • Provide location information

AR is deeply engaging. It immerses users in enhanced environments and stimulates senses including vision, touch, hearing, haptic, somatosensory and olfactory. As a result, businesses can provide end-users with a stimulating experience that captivates your audience.
