AR for Industry Gaining Attention Around The Web

An increasing number of articles are starting to give Augmented Reality more popularity around the internet recently, which in part is down to the buzz surrounding the AR Global requirements workshop held in Chicago in March this year.

Though it’s been around for years in various forms, Augmented Reality is starting to draw heightened interest from the tech industry.  Nods to Facebook, Apple, Asus and Magic Leap are mentioned in notable examples to watch out for in a recent article. It is good to see industry AR attracting positive mention in the news:

Many companies and industry experts are starting to see augmented reality as the next evolution of computing. In the future, you may read your email, watch videos or play games not on your smartphone, television or laptop, but via special kinds of glasses that have built-in, transparent displays.

Industry experts also think AR will play a big role in communication and in education. AR could offer a new form of telepresence; wearing an AR headset, a person could potentially see an image of a friend or co-worker that appeared to be sitting in the chair next to them as they carried on a conversation. And instead of having to go to Wikipedia to find out about a piece of art or a sculpture, an AR app or headset might simply provide you with that information when you just looked at it.
