The year 2016 witnessed the launch of Pokémon GO, a path-breaking innovation in the world of mobile video games, and the game earned tremendous acceptance globally with 100 million downloads on Google Play in one month. It is one of the top augmented reality examples among many more that have emerged in the past two years.
Apple
CEO Tim Cook said in 2016 that the augmented reality technology will
become so essential that it will be as much a part of a user’s day
as eating three meals a day.
In
the FIFA World Cup 2018, football fans got an engaging opportunity to
extend their support for their favorite team by adding 3D face masks
to photos and videos. This became the first international sporting
event to implement Facebook’s augmented reality masks.
Over
the past couple of years, we have come across numerous augmented
reality examples, either in the news or experienced ourselves. The
world of augmented reality has finally become as real as peanut
butter. Its capabilities which we have seen in sci-fi fictions movies
like HER are now a science-backed reality in life. It offers an
enriched experience by introducing elements of the virtual world into
the real world using technology.
From
education to entertainment, healthcare to medical science, sports to
tourism, product marketing to retail shopping, construction to
telecommunication, engineering to manufacturing, environment to
energy, AR has marked its presence everywhere. AR is here to stay and
all set to become an indispensable part of our daily lives.
