Digital Acceleration Trends of 2022 (Here’s what we are predicting)
Can reality be augmented?
A growing trend among companies utilizing mobile computing and business applications particularly is augmented reality (AR). It can transform volumes of data and analytics into images or animations to be overlaid on the real world. It has the tendency to supplement or replace traditional manuals and even training methods at a fast pace.
AR is an enhanced version of the physical world that is experienced by using visual elements, sound or other sense stimuli coupled with technology. It is highly visual, and interactive digitally, for it can connect employees and improve business results. The technology transforms colossal amounts of data into images or a series of images to provide a visual experience.
Another kind of immersive experience, virtual reality, which creates its own cyber environment, augmented reality enhances the visual and sound experience by adding to the existing world as it is.
Companies were skeptical in the nascent stage; now several domains are harnessing on to AR. It allows realistic training to take place in a controlled environment; companies can put their theories to realistic tests without becoming consequential to life. It can be applied to a vast number of industries and sectors. Medical professionals and doctors can conduct difficult and complicated procedures and test and practice their skill; consumers can enjoy ‘travelling’ the world or even extreme sports without even leaving their house.
By imposing digital visuals on real environments, AR allows to process the physical and digital together, discarding the know-how to mentally bridge the two. This enhances human ability to swiftly absorb data, process and fulfill essential tasks rapidly.
The mind blowing technology of augmented reality has been in for quite some time. Given the blessing of social distancing and zero travel through the initial phases of the pandemic, augmented reality became a good selling point. Companies are utilizing its capabilities well. Augmented reality is revolutionary and is becoming the new interface between humans and machines.
