Augmented reality is one of the coolest technology to visualize the reality in different ways. The releases of new mobile OS from apple and google have also emphasized a lot on AR giving the phone a capability to change your surroundings.

​

• The e-commerce websites can exploit this technology to provide a realistic feel of the product you buy. Furniture companies have already set this trend of visualizing your home decor by giving the user the control over placing the objects anywhere around their space.​

• AR can be fun!! You sometimes go crazy and want to try out new stuff by placing some random objects around you. This can be hilarious when you got to see pictures like the below ones :D. This can be also a time killer as well. People generally wait for something and to pass time, they eventually end up trying such insane stuff. And yes this is fun!! but sometimes may end up productive :D​

Future Scope:

​

• While a lot has been progressed in AR, there can be much more done with it. identifying the place around you and calculating the scale might be a great next step. This can be helpful in many ways. For an instance, you might not always get the right size of the furniture that would be ideal for your space at home. In such a scenario, AR should have the capability to calculate the right dimensions of the furniture when resizing it with respect to the current view.

Other Areas of application:

​

• AR has a great future. Clothing sector can dive into this technology to make their users feel that they are actually putting on the clothes they'd like to try while shopping online.​

​

• Video calls can be made interactive by showing the other person in front of you, maybe the entire space of that person around you so that it feels like you are with them.
