In education , and some other applications such as product assembly and warehouse management AR is making its way into these applications and now been used by people who understand more about the augmented reality and it’s at the stage where most new apps will bridge the line between reality and digital representation in a new and more imaginative ways.
Apple CEO Tim Cook in a conference call said “this is one of those huge things that we will look back at and be surprised on the start of it “. AR is an important and valuable platform that Apple has create since the App Store in 2008, no record yet in what app Apple plans extending this technology to other applications, since the Pokémon Go has been around for a year now and the buzz around it seems to be fading. But with this its new AR drive, there’s a potential for new games powered by augmented reality , home remodelling apps that will allow you visualise new decor and furniture in an existing room , education , health care and more.
However lots of AR demos are rolling in for different games which include the virtual tour of Vincent Van Gogh bedroom, Star War, digital replica of Houston on a table and lots so as you may now agree, AR is future in digital interpretation of these apps been projected in life like images that can be viewed through a phone.
