Time to Dispel Common Myths about Augmented Reality
One of the key objectives of the AR for Enterprise Alliance is to reduce the hype around Augmented Reality so that those who wish to introduce it have realistic expectations and positive results are achievable. Setting expectations within reach of current technologies frequently requires “busting myths” that have developed in literature, motion picture or games.
This post on the InfinityLeap.com blog examines three myths. First, AR is not like Minority Report. Second, Augmented Reality does not replace everything. And third, Augmented Reality cuts costs. Augmented Reality is more than a new interface, it is complementary to enterprise information technology and systems and it does have a cost for acquisition and deployment, however these costs can be offset by measurable benefits.
