Earlier it was Pokemon Go and now Apple’s latest iPhone series launch, one thing that connects these two distinctive affairs in a single thread is, “Augmented Reality” or AR.
The technology has long sounded like a futuristic concept in the past but is currently rolling out as one of the best techniques for a number of mobile app developers.
As a technique “Augmented Reality” or AR, paves a way for the users to impose computer-generated AR-VR rooted image atop the screen.
The Best Augmented Reality Applications
The latest fad in mobile app making is including Augmented Reality in the applications.
The phone camera is then used to find out Pokemons in the real world.
The prevalence of mobile apps in every nook and cranny has made it possible to showcase the simulated reality on the screens of smartphones.
There, Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR) comes in the picture.
On one hand, these technologies have expanded the scope of simulating reality, and on the other hand, they have mixed the real and digital world for offering an immersive user experience.
Let’s take the example of AR.
Out of both these technologies, AR is more interesting and powerful as it deals with the real-life scenarios.
It makes the reality multifaceted and provides a lifelike and interactive experience.
Imagine: you need a sofa... but here's the question: how will it look in your room? It's very easy to find out the answer if the furniture store has its own AR application. In this case, you should make a few taps, and your device's screen will display the desired picture, so you'll see whether this piece of furniture fits into your interior... and therefore, you'll make the purchase more readily. Impressive? But this is just one of the examples of using AR technology as an effective business tool. Yes, AR changes our reality for the better and covers a wide range of areas including e-commerce, information environment, user behavior.
According to IDC, the world market of AR and VR technologies will have increased to $ 162 billion by 2020. Moreover, as Digi-Capital, the consulting company, claims, the AR market is growing four times faster than VR is doing.
So, it's time to think about the introduction of these technologies into your own business processes. But how much does an AR app cost? We'll try to answer this question and, in addition, explain all the details of the augmented reality app development.
