Augmented Reality Revolution

Moving forward to the year 2024, augmented reality helps to redefine the concept of an interface specifically through the application of AR glasses which are integrated into daily life situations. New AR glasses are just around the corner: after recent releases of Apple and Google, new gadgets are practical, rather than just futuristic, and are designed to become everyday accessories. These glasses place an iconographic representation of the world on top of the physical one, from guiding people to the best routes to providing aid in social interactions.

Thanks to the adaption of AR glasses across industries, fields such as healthcare, education, and retail have been transformed. AR glasses are commonly applied in the field of healthcare and surgery; with such technology, the surgeon can have a clear vision of the patient’s data and impressive 3D imagery of the patient’s body during operations which, in return, enhances the likelihood of success. It might be used by schools to conduct more engaging and effective lessons where students learn, for example, history through Max, a digital artifact or dissection of the anatomy of frog through Shane, a virtual frog.

Much like the healthcare industry, the retail sector is also seeing its revolution facilitated by the use of AR glasses. From simple garments to automobiles, one can now ‘wear’ clothes without actually being locked within a garments’ shop or ‘place’ furniture in the living room without having to physically moving it from the furniture shop. This technology does not only enrich the atmosphere of shopping experience, but also minimize the rate of returns and maximize the satisfaction of the customers.

Thus, with the progress of the AR technology being continuing we can state that it would extend the presence of the digital environment into the physical one. AR glasses, which offer just-in-time, context sensitive infotainment experiences are positioned to become the most ubiquitous human computer interface of the future that will deliver value across diverse domains of life and business.
